As we celebrate National Special Education Day, we have a lot of things to be excited about as we enter our third year of being the host district in the Goddard Special Education Cooperative. Our cooperative serves 1,732 students in 21 school buildings within the communities of Goddard, Clearwater, Conway Springs, and Cheney. Our cooperative also serves students with disabilities who attend St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Wichita, Holy Spirit in Goddard, St. Joseph in Conway Springs, and St. Peter in Schulte. Our staff in these communities do an incredible job of working with all students regardless of their disability. They define the mission of our cooperative, that all students can learn together in a school community and participate meaningfully via inclusive education systems that meet the unique needs of all students.
Before the Fall break, students and staff participated in the Wichita Suburban League annual food drive. We collected food items, as well as monetary donations to purchase food items, all week. Goals were tied to incentives for the week and boy did everyone show out!
If we hit our weekly goal, students got the chance to "pie" up to 10 selected teachers/staff in the face on Friday. Enough money was donated and food items were brought in to not only hit our goal, but to exceed it far enough that ALL 10 TEACHERS/STAFF got pied.
What a great way to go into Fall break. Thank you to everyone who donated!
Tomorrow we "build" or way to Victory! GMS Lions 7/8 GBB vs. Lakewood tips off at 5pm. Go to "work" Lions!
What's up for GMS Athletics in the final week of November? We have a wrestling Triangular once at EMS and Girls Basketball twice, once on the road at Valley Center and one playing host to Salina Lakewood MS. Go Lions!
GMS Lions Don't forget this is going on all week long! Everyone CAN Help!
The GMS Lions Spirit Train keeps on rolling this week. We host two events and tomorrow is TWIN DAY to kick off a string of Spirit Days for Winter Sports Game Days. GMS Lions let's have fun, show up, and show out!
What's on for GMS Athletics this week? Some HOME COOKING! The Lions host both Boys Wrestling and Girls Basketball Competitions in front of family and friends on this week before Thanksgiving Break. Go Lions!
GMS Circle of Friends did some shaking and baking this afternoon in the FACS Kitchen, as they had fun making some sweet treats with one another! Shout out to all the COF mentors, sponsors and friends that made this fun time possible!
Mrs. Rindt's and Mr. Heim's 7th grade science classes were treated to the science team's annual Halloween show. The show was complete with a spooky story and several science experiments to complement the story.
