Good morning GCMS Middle School! Today is Monday, September 23.
Would you now please rise and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
Good luck to our baseball team today as they have their first round game in the IESA Regional playoffs. They play here at home at 4:30 against Normal Metcalf.
Students, thank you so much for participating in today’s Homecoming dress up Zoom Day. Please note that tomorrow there is a slight change. Instead of having neon day we are going to dress up to show support for Cissna Park. Over the weekend a student that was a senior at Cissna Park tragically passed away in a motorcycle accident. To show our support we are going to wear their school colors which are Navy Blue, Silver and Columbia Blue. If you don’t have any of these colors feel free to wear white.
Wednesday’s dress up day is Babies vs. Boomers so you can dress up as a baby or an elderly person. Thursday is Holiday Day so please wear your favorite holiday gear. Friday is of course Falcon Friday so please wear your GCMS Falcon gear. Remember for these dress up days, all clothing must be school appropriate and face coverings and face paint are not allowed.
Attention students, Ms. Ferguson is starting a new club, the Kindness Club. If you enjoy helping others, spreading joy, making others smile, and being in a fun group then this is the club for you! Meetings will take place every other Wednesday opposite of student council. The first meeting will take place on September 25 at 7:30 in the library. Please see Ms. Ferguson in the library if you have any questions.
The Newspaper Club meeting will take place tomorrow morning.
Don't forget to submit your yearbook cover design! Designs are due this Friday, September 27th. See Ms. Ferguson if you need paper or have questions.
Students, please make sure that your cellphone and smart watches are put away in your locker.
All students need to complete their daily check-in. The check-in can be found in the SEL Classroom. Also, students that are eating school lunch today please be sure to sign up on the google form. First choice today is chicken nuggets and second choice is a taco. Remember, if you are eating school lunch you must sign up during first period. This ensures that we have made enough food for everyone.
Students, please remember to follow our school-wide expectations of Be on Time, Be Prepared, Be Respectful, and Be Safe.
Today is a great day to have a great day!
