GMStrong for October

Our GMStrong theme for October is healthy activities. Throughout the month staff and students will discuss and participate in healthy activities. During all lunches, one row of tables in the café will be allowed to eat their lunch outside in the courtyard and then play soccer and football in the courtyard. Each day a different row of tables will be given this opportunity. This will continue for the month of October.
