Attention all students: Want a chance to win a snack, a coupon to the front of the lunch line, or free admission to a GMS wrestling meet or basketball game? Then complete a puzzle from the challenge board in the cafeteria! There are five different puzzles each week. Complete one, two, or maybe all five! To be eligible for the drawing you must turn your completed puzzles in by Friday and have the correct answer. Winners will be in the morning announcements on Tuesday each week. Please only turn in one of each type of puzzle each week for a maximum of five. Good luck!

Attention members of the Peer tutoring program: Just a reminder that there is no Peer Tutoring this week  

The next GMS Yearbook Staff meeting is Tuesday, January 16th after school until 4:30pm. Please plan to attend and contact an advisor if you cannot.  Also, a reminder to all students to place your order for a GMS yearbook soon.  Your opportunity to order will be ending next week, and you don't want to be left without a book again this year.  There will be NO chance to order a book once the deadline comes on January 26th.  Order online through Skyward or pick up an order form at the main office!

Attention NFL Pick Em: We are sure you're wondering who won the regular season championship and the coveted free lunch reward but we are still catching up on grading the three weeks that happened on Christmas break. As soon as we know, we will announce. But in the meantime, the NFL Playoffs start this weekend! Everyone's scores will be reset to 0, so now is a good time to join if they would like. There will be no weekly winners but there will be a playoff champion that will win a free lunch of their choice from somewhere in Geneseo. If this interests you, be sure to grab a sheet, get it filled out, and turn in before the end of the day today or tomorrow. Good luck!
