Date: Tuesday, December 11, 2018

We will be hearing information about the Signs of Suicide training the kids received last week and Principal Dolan will be sharing information about the MD State Report Card and the scores for GMS. This is a brand new rating for schools.
Every member of the GMS community is welcome to attend PTA meetings, even if you are not a member. Look forward to see you there!

We are conducting a food drive until December 15th. Canned foods should be dropped off at the main office or counseling office. Types of Food Needed: Rice, black and red beans (bag not canned), lentils (bag not canned), juice, pasta, pasta sauce, cereal, fruit cups, pudding, flavored oatmeal, peanut butter, jelly, bread, granola bars, canola oil, and canned corn.
Project Change Pajama Drive
The GMS Project Change Service Club will be sponsoring a Pajama Drive for Comfort Cases (serving children in foster care) beginning Monday Dec. 3 through Friday Dec. 14.
We will be Collecting New Pajamas in all sizes! We hope you can help!
Donations should be brought to the main office.
Instrumental Program Fundraiser
The Instrumental Music program at GMS will hold a fundraiser during the Winter Concert on Wednesday, December 12, from 5:45 pm to 9 pm. Baked goods, snacks, pizza and water will be sold. A seating area will be set up near the gym.
Donations of baked goods, snacks and bottles of water are needed, as well as volunteers to staff the concession table.
All the funds raised will support much-needed repairs of school-owned instruments and the purchase of new instruments, so that more students are able to borrow instruments and showcase their amazing talents. Did you know that it costs between $100 and $300 to repair one clarinet or clean a brass instrument, and that many of the school's instruments need new cases? The addition of an instrument such as a vibraphone or a marimba would also widen the scope of the music students can practice and perform year-round. A vibraphone costs $3,000! Every dollar counts!!!
