It was a packed week of learning combined with some fun for GMS students and staff including "woosh bottle" demonstrations in 8th grade science classes, "Kung Fu" order of operations in 6th grade math classes, and our 8th grade band performing with the GHS marching band last week.
And all with a heavy dose of "6's" and "7's" involved...just ask our GMS students.
