Geneseo CUSD #228 - Where the future grows.

Friday Night Lights! Good victory over Rock Island!

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.

We remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the heroes who responded with courage and compassion.

From Friday Night Football, to Tuesday night Volleyball, our students in the GMS Machine are rockin and rollin.

Structured Support at Northside is having fun getting back into the swing of things. Spray bottle art and popsicle painting outside with Mrs. Landry and establishing morning classroom routine with Mrs. Brown and classmates. Exciting start to the school year at Northside.

Congratulations to all of our GMS golfers on a truly phenomenal season! 3 boys and 2 girls made it to IESA Sectionals this week, each golfing strong 18-hole rounds, on tough courses, and against top-level competition. Here's some pics of our IESA Sectional golfers in action.

Caterpillars and Butterflies, digging and analyzing different soils, and exploring the shadows cast by our sun throughout the day. Science Rocks!

Fifth graders at Northside are exploring volume of rectangular prisms through building with unit cubes. We have some strong Math thinkers sharing their great ideas.

This Labor Day, we recognize the dedication and effort of workers across every field. A heartfelt thank you to those in our schools who go above and beyond to educate, guide, and support. Your work matters — and we are grateful.

Congratulations to our GHS Students of the Week! 🎉 These students were nominated by staff for the positive impact they make on both their classmates and teachers. Proud of you!

What do volleyball, chicken fajita prep, the library, and softball all have in common? You're right! Nothing...but AWESOME GMS students, teachers, student-athletes, coaches, and fans! Tomorrow those fajitas are gonna smell and taste AMAZING during FACS classes! GO LEAFS!!!

GMS Golf took on and defeated the Rock Island Rocks out at the Geneseo Country Club tonight. Golfers drove, chipped and putt like pros. Next up, GMS takes on Costa at GCC on Monday.

Our students and staff had amazing discussions surrounding LEAFS skills and how to keep our building orderly and safe. LEAFS is an acronym reminding us all to show outstanding "learning engagement, effort, accountability, focus, and self-regulation" every day! I'm very proud of the tremendous leadership of all our students!
