Geneseo Middle School, along with the Geneseo Police Department, just completed the collection of toys, clothing, gift cards, and more for this year's Christmas Toy Drive. Thank you to our Geneseo PD, Mrs. Johnson and our 6th grade Senate leaders, and everyone who graciously donated this year. Social workers and counselors are now distributing these gifts to families in the Geneseo community, with some going to the food pantry in town for more outreach.
5th grade students researched their favorite charity, wrote a persuasive essay, and delivered a speech to their classmates. Students then raised funds with the money raised going to the "winning charities." Students did a great job writing, public speaking, and advocating for a cause close to their hearts.
Today Kindergarten participated in the Letter People Parade. Students did a fantastic job dressing up as their corresponding letter and were so excited to show off their letter person friend.

Our GMS alumni who are in FFA at GHS worked magic through the summer and fall as their corn crop made GMS invisible from Ogden Avenue for almost five months. Now that harvest seems like a distant memory and it's a frozen plot, we'll look forward to them planting again next May. Stay warm everyone!!!
