๐ Scholastic Book Fair! November 27- December 1, 2023! ๐
It's time for our fall book fair! The Scholastic book fair will be held in the library, for all grades, from November 27-December 1. Flyers will be sent home with students the week before, but you can also check out a preview of the fair and order books online through the GHMS Book Fair homepage. On the homepage, you can set up an e-wallet for your child, which is a fast and easy way for your child to shop at the fair. Books make great gifts! Thank you for supporting our library!
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation, reaching millions of young people each year. This yearโs event took place October 23-31. This event is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs.
GHMS celebrated Red Ribbon Week by asking students and staff to show their school spirit and dress up to support this year's theme of Be Kind To Your Mind. Some of our themed days included: Hat Day, Western Day, Neon Day, Sports Day, and Red-White-Blue Day.
