Germantown Hills School District #69

Today, students running for Student Council seats gave speeches in front of the entire middle school. I am so proud of them!

On Thursday, students in 8th grade Enriched Literature worked on a hexagonal thinking activity. They took characters and concepts from the story they are reading (Flowers for Algernon) and arranged them to show how they were connected. Students also had to write out what those connections were. Each group had a completely different looking arrangement.

Picture Day is next week, September 17th-19th!

Congratulations to this week's dude.we.see.you winner, Brighton Blackert!

Dr. Brumbaugh is introducing Warrior Coins to the Germantown Hills School District. A Warrior Coin is awarded to deserving individuals, including students, staff and community members, who demonstrate what it means to be a Warrior of the highest order in the classroom, on the court, or in the community. Nomination forms for the award will be available at the Germantown Hill School District website soon.
Our first GHES recipient was Ms. Fiveland. Here is a snippet from what we shared about Ms. Fiveland: We are so grateful for the positive energy she brings to our school every single day. She is the friendly face that welcomes everyone who walks through the office doors—students, teachers, and families alike. Her humor and kindness make the office not just a workspace, but a fun, warm, and welcoming place for the entire school community.

Thank you Ms. Fiveland for the joy, laughter, and genuine care you share with us all—you truly embody the spirit of service!

Come cheer with the GHMS cheerleaders as they host a mini cheer camp! Participants will learn sideline cheers, jumps, and a dance. This will take place September 27th from 9 AM to Noon! Forms should be returned by Monday, 9/8.
