This Week at GCMS:
It has been another busy week at GCMS! Our students and teachers are working hard as the 3rd 9 weeks of the school year has come to an end. The NCAA Tournament has lost a little of its
local interest with most “local” teams having been eliminated early this
year. Not too many “Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk”
fans running around Grayson County. I have just a few notes to share with you as
we work our way toward the end of the week. I hope that everyone enjoys the Easter weekend with your friends and family.
WKU History Contest:
Congratulations on an outstanding showing at this year’s WKU History Contest! GCMS had 26 students to place among the winners at this year’s event. Overall, about 15 percent of students are recognized, and almost 50 percent of the GCMS students who participated won recognition. 7th grader, Bailey Richardson, placed 2nd out of several hundred 7th graders. This is one of the best showings ever! Thank you to Mr. Helm, Mr. Meredith, and Mrs. Hicks for taking the students, and thank you to all of our social studies teachers and the rest of our teachers, staff, and parents for doing such a good job preparing the students.

Orchestra!
Our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade
GCMS orchestras each received straight distinguished ratings at KMEA concert
festival this week. Congratulations to
our orchestra students and to our orchestra directors, Adam and Stacy French!
Good Luck Volleyball!
I want to wish the best of luck to our 7th and 8th
grade volleyball teams in the conference championship games tonight at Ohio
County. Both teams have had great years!
Great Job Team 5!
We enjoyed visiting Team 5 classrooms for showcase lessons
earlier this week. We were able to
observe a wide variety of effective teaching and learning strategies. I appreciate these teachers opening up their classrooms
for colleagues in this way.
Aspiring Principal
Program:
The third and final cadre of the Aspiring Principals program
through GRREC and WKU will be having an informational meeting on March 30 at the
Grayson County Board of Education Central Office. The meeting is scheduled to start at 3:30
that afternoon. Lea Ann Frank, Ashley
Johnson, and Gary Parker are participating in the 1st and 2nd
cadres, and I’m sure that they would be glad to answer any questions that you might
have. This is a great way to get your
principal certification at a greatly reduced cost.
