On Friday, GMS grade 8 students participated in the Real Money, Real World simulation. The main goal is providing experiences in financial literacy and as we call it "adulting." There were various other stations as well that provided valuable experiences and fun. Thanks to Grow Next Gen, Becks Hybrids, and the 4H extension office for their partnerships in the project.

Outstanding 8th grade Art I student Adelaide Shearer completed a mural project in the GMS cafeteria. Out of a request from the cafeteria staff, and a successful doodle project Adelaide made in 7th grade art, the idea was generated. A mock drawing was made and then modified to fit the wall space. The mural was drawn with charcoal and then finalized with a vibrant fine art graffiti marker. Thank you Adelaide!
