their new skills and knowledge. An art show consisting
of two photographs from each student is planned.

they read and listen to the books, and engage in
discussions with classmates and their teacher.

relief fundraiser to help support earthquake victims in
Haiti. Beginning Monday, 2/1 students can begin buying
a cloth bracelet with blue and red beads, to show
the two main colors of the Haitian flag, to signify

money will be given to a relief organization for Haiti.
We want to encourage students, staff, parents, and
anyone else in the community to become involved by
either donating money or by buying a bracelet for
$1 at GMS. We would like to
include the entire community and are working with Blue
Ridge Middle at our rival game being held Monday 2/1 at
6pm at Greer High School. Ms. Pedrick, Ms. Elliott, and
Ms. Rogers will be sponsoring this fundraiser along with
the help of students in Model United Nations, IB
Ambassadors, the Journalism staff, and the art classes.
Thank you for your help and support. Updates will be
