A special congratulations to our 2nd grade students, who brought in the most cans with an impressive 386 cans collected! 4th grade was close behind with 379 cans, making it a very exciting and close competition.
One of the most special moments of the drive was watching our kindergarten students help load the cans onto the truck—literally can by can!
We are so proud of all of our students and families who contributed. Thank you for helping make a difference! 💙

So far, we’ve collected about 238,000 tabs—that’s amazing—but we still have a little way to go. Every tab counts, and together we can make a big difference!
Here’s the plan:
Keep collecting those tabs from soda, canned drinks, or other aluminum cans.
Send them to school by May 1st.
Watch our total climb as we get closer to 300,000!
Not only is this a fun challenge, but it’s also a great way for students and families to give back and support our community. Let’s see if we can smash our goal together! 💪
Thank you for helping us reach new heights—every tab brings us closer!
Thank you,
GHMS Student Council
4th grade reading students have been working hard to prepare for their ‘Who Was’ podcasts!🎙️🎧 Students read a biography with their book club, and then split up to create a podcast episode in which an interviewer questioned the influential person students read about.
🌟Here are some moments from the final filming of Mrs. Harvey’s reading classes including shots from “Escaping North” with Harriet Tubman, “The Tallchief Telling” with Maria Tallchief, “The Best John-tastic Questions” with JFK, “Science Sparks” with Marie Curie, “Podcast with Nikola” with Nikola Tesla, and “Racing with the Record Making Man” with Jesse Owens.
*See next post for additional photos! Thank you, Mrs. Harvey!
Throughout the week, students learned about Down Syndrome and were inspired by stories of individuals with Down Syndrome and their many accomplishments. Students also had the opportunity to participate in our “Rock Your Socks” coloring contest!
This morning, Anni and Jax took over Fun Friday to announce our grade-level winners. Thank you to everyone who participated—it was a very close contest! Congratulations to this year’s winners!
And remember, our friends with Down Syndrome are just like you and me—they play, laugh, learn, and shine in their own unique ways every day!
