These are the new dates for each grade to turn in their cookie dough orders and money (checks are to be made payable to GMS):
8th graders: Monday, October 24th.
7th graders: Tuesday, October 25th.
6th graders: Wednesday, October 26th.
Thank you for your continued support and participation! Let’s make this fundraiser a HUGE success for our school and our students!
