Good morning GCMS Middle School! Today is Wednesday, November 1st.
Would you now please rise and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Students, every year the state of Illinois releases a report card on each school in the state. Schools are then given a designation based on their report card. The highest designation in the state is exemplary. This designation goes to the top 10% of schools in the state. We are one of 11 schools in the Central Illinois area that earned this designation so it is a big accomplishment. Your hard work along with the dedication of your teachers led to this accomplishment. Today during 10th period we are going to take a school photo that will be published in Friday’s Champaign News Gazette newspaper. We will have an announcement for each grade level to come to the gym once we are ready to get organized for the picture.
There is sign-up info on the counter in the office for any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade boys and girls interested in going out for Middle School Wrestling. Be sure to take an info packet and sign up on the sheet if you are interested. Wrestling practice begins Nov. 27. There will be a meeting for all wrestlers and their parents next Mon. Nov. 6 at 5:30 in the cafeteria. Please contact Coach Brucker if you cannot attend. See Coach Berry if you have any questions.
Please be sure to have warm clothing for recess. If it’s not wet outside and if it's warmer than 20 degrees we will go outside for recess. So please make sure that you have a coat to wear.
Students, please check the lost and found rack which is located by the water vending machine. There are quite a few items that need to be claimed.
We would like for all students to do their check-in during the 1st hour. Even if you do not want a check-in today please be sure to log-in and submit that you do not want a check-in. We want all students to be comfortable with this process. This helps make sure that Mrs. V and Mrs. Zook can get to anyone who wants a check-in throughout the day.
Also students, please make sure that your cellphones are off and stored in your locker. If you are eating school lunch today and have not signed up yet please do so now.
Students, please remember to follow our school-wide expectations of Be on Time, Be Prepared, Be Respectful, and Be Safe.
Thank you and have a fantastic day Falcons!
