Msg from GMS- State Assessment Score Reports are coming home today for all students who were at Graham last year. If your student was not in attendance at Graham last year, the prior school will have them.
Free and reduced applications are available in each building! We have to process these new each year. If you haven't filled one out this year your child is at risk of becoming paid again.
***NEW** The signed Ohio budget bill includes a provision for the state to cover the cost for reduced price breakfast and lunch. This means that students that qualify for reduced meals will now receive breakfast and lunch for free. We encourage all families to complete a free/reduced meal application for the 2023-2024 school year as eligibility requirements have also changed making this opportunity even more accessible.
Please visit our website at https://www.grahamlocalschools.org/.../district-forms/398352 or apply online at https://www.payschoolscentral.com/ or
feel free to call in and ask for one to be sent home with your child or email Mrs. Skinner at skinnera@grahamlocalschools.org to get a copy.

Check out Kaylin's Silver Award project that now graces the grounds of GMS!
Kaylin shared, "This project was done for my Silver Award in Girl Scouts. My goal was to create a safe space for native birds to nest and eat. Also, I hoped to educate about local birds by making a Google slide about the birds that might visit and live in the garden. I gained more skills than I thought I would! I learned to design, create, and build feeders and nesting boxes. I learned a lot about creating and maintaining a garden. And I also learned about leading a team and teaching younger students about our local environment. I hope this garden and its birds can be enjoyed and studied by students at GMS."
