The design and modeling class partnered up with the culinary students to design a cookie cutter and the design and modeling students built them and 3-D printed them. How cool!

You may have heard the buzz 🐝 coming from Gray Middle School’s auditorium today as we were buzzing with excitement as talented wordsmiths went head to head in an epic showdown of letters, logic, and lots of courage for this year’s school spelling bee! Congratulations go to our champion, Lincoln Tretter! And a huge shout out to our runner up, Myles Mahone! All contestants showed incredible focus, flair, and bee-yond impressive language skills! We’re extra proud because last year’s county champion came from GMS - and with talent like this, we know we can bring that title home to the hive again this year. We will all be cheering Lincoln on as he goes for that county title! A huge applause to every participant who stepped up to the mic today. You made this year’s competition truly un-bee-lievable!

In 2020 The Special Elf Mission began. This year they went to schools recognizing teachers that go above and beyond while having strong connections with students. Our Band Director, Mr. Briggs, was recognized today. He received a box full of goodies which had items for his students and for him. This was made possible by the partnership between A Touch Beyond Spa, the Lake County Sheriff's Office, and the Groveland Police Department. Thank you!

PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports. At Gray Middle, we incorporate PBIS strategies throughout the school year. One way we do this is by teaching students positive behavior. This month's focus is on Empathy & Compassion. Students learned about this important topic today during Thrive Time. We encourage you to talk with your child about it. Thank you for your support of PBIS!
