In honor of the March Madness Basketball Tournament, the GDRMS 8th grade Science teachers are running a March Madness Science Topics Bracket, to determine which is the Best Science Topic So Far This Year!
Every Friday, students vote on which topics are “best”. They can vote based on which topics are their favorites, which topics they've learned the most about, or even which topics are the most relevant in their own lives! We've had a lot of great review conversations along the way, reminiscing about earlier units. For extra credit, some students are designing posters, slogans, or team uniforms for each of their predicted Final Four topics.
Early frontrunners include "Hour of Code", "Proteins", and "Chemical Reactions", but there's still several rounds of matchups yet to come!
Happy Friday, Today is an early release for our Middle School Students.
Enjoy your weekend.
Ms. Salvatore

Is this your student's water bottle? Water bottles, hoodies, t-shirts and more are available to pick up in the Middle School North Lobby through 3/17/23.
6th graders in Ms. Hoag's Advisory were having a really hard time stacking golf balls in a minute to win it challenge until they decided to change the surface and voila, they got it done.
It's a pet wall in Mr. Gannon's class. Not only does his classroom show that he teaches math and science but he connects with students by knowing who their furry friends are at home.
Families and staff,
Due to the impending snowstorm which will significantly impact our ability to bring students safely to school, GDRSD will be closed on Tuesday, February 28th.
Best regards,
Laura Chesson, Superintendent

The Downstairs 6th grade team is 100 days smarter.
The teacher had the students make a chain of 100 ways they are smarter. If you have a student on the downstairs team with Ms. Hoag, Mr. Putnam, Mrs. Miller or Ms. Morris ask them about it.
Please help us celebrate kindness week February 13-17
Pick a Word. 7th grade students were asked in Advisory to pick a word that will be their word for Q3. The students then came up with designs to decorate their class doors with a theme. So fun
