GMS Weekly News and Notes
Weekly Updates
We were thrilled to welcome CHS members of the Canton Character Crew to GMS on Wednesday. The students were on hand to recruit GMS students for the junior character crew. It was a thrill for our students to connect with this terrific group of presenters to talk about all the ways they can get involved in community service and leadership. Thanks to Ms. Renee Bousquet (GMS) and Ms. Bonnie Bousquet (CHS) for organizing the event!
On behalf of our student organizers, thank you to all students and families who made clothing donations as part of the Bulldog Winter Clothing Drive. We were able to collect many usable winter clothing items for Cradles to Crayons!
With the arrival of winter, there is often an uptick in feelings of anxiety and depression. Please remind your young people that if they find themselves struggling emotionally, our staff can help them find the support they might need. If you notice any concerning signs at home, please reach out so we can work on finding a good support plan together.
In addition, more time indoors usually leads to more time online and in particular, more time on social media. Please check in with your students about the apps they use regularly, and make sure that they are engaging is safe behavior online. Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like assistance with navigating a conversation.
