As a community, we have been very busy. Below are some of the highlights /events:
- We held a Rhinos Gathering for our 6th - 8th grade students on May 27th, 2010. Students played games after school with faculty and staff and enjoyed pizza and lemonade donated by our PTA.
- Our 8th grade students visited the high school and had an opportunity to meet their new principal.
- 6th Grade students throughout the building attended Darien Lake and our 8th grade students in the building attended Niagara Falls for the day. all students were well behaved and represented our school in a positive manner. We received compliments every where we went.
- Several transition activities are scheduled the last week of school for our students. Specifically, our 6th grade students will be visiting 7th grade classrooms to meet their teachers and to participate in ice breaker games. This is an excellent way for our students to begin forming connections with their new teachers.
These are just a few of the wonderful things our community has been doing. This year has been wonderful! Thank you for all of the good wishes for my daughter, Mikayla! She is 2 1/2 months old now and doing well. I cherish every moment with her and was appreciative of all of the e-mails from GCMS families.
