The Bobcat Bulletin
3/13/2023
Happy Monday!
Hello GBS Bobcats;
Welcome back everyone! This week starts out with a bang, with a classic nor-easter blanketing the region in snow the next few days! Be careful and safe out there!
Note: Students will not attend school tomorrow / Tuesday, March 14th, as it is voting day in many of our local communities...but with the weather being what it is, be careful and stay safe.
Thanks again for all that you do Bobcats, and be well.
- Joe Wright, Assistant Principal
8th Grade Transitions Continue!
Students continue to meet with our counselors regarding schedules and options as they prepare to enter high school next year. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Laura Gourlay (lgourlay@conval.edu) or Katie Hiers (khiers@conval.edu).
Please reach out if you have any other questions!

Mattress Fundraiser
Save the date! GBS, SMS and CVHS are joining forces Sunday, March 19th, 10 AM - 4 PM at ConVal HS for a Mattress Fundraiser. Please note: this fundraiser does not have the students or parents/guardians needing to sell or attend an event.
If you, friends, neighbors or family members buy a Mattress and say who referred you, that student (8th through 12 grade) or school (GBS, SMS or CVHS) will receive the profits!
8th through 12th Grade music students will receive fundraising money in their school account and go towards a Music Disney Trip next spring! The high school cafeteria will be turned into a Mattress showroom and the event coordinators will take care of everything.
