Yesterday during Project Lead the Way , Mass STEM Hub came out to present our students, Chase Kane, Luke Ambrose and Jackson Connolly, with their award for "Top Gateway Engineering Project - 2021" , for the State. There were over 700 projects submitted and GD 8th graders won. Nice job to them and nice job to Ms. Dwyer for teaching PTLW to our students.


Hello GD families, We will be conducting our weekly pool testing on Monday this week so that we can get our results back in time for the short week.
Sincerely
Ms. Salvatore

Day 2 of our Middle School book fair was a huge success. We encourage families to set up an e-wallet as we ran out of change for a quick minute today.
Thank you to our PTO and parent volunteers.


Bus 2 middle school ONLY will be about 15 min late - the driver should get to the first stop around 7:40/7:45.

Good morning GD families. I had an email from Dee bus that there were some substitute bus drivers in today so some of the routes might be a little late.
Thank you for your patience.

Middle School Ski Club is Full. We have three busses going out.

Field hockey took home their 2nd win against Quabbin, 2-1. Goals were scored by Gabby and Sam. Assists by Elena and Avery. On offense, Grace, Shelby, Avery and Lily advanced the ball time and time again. Catie and Lyla dominated on defense with Julia and Alicia as sweepers. Maddy made an incredible save to keep us as game winners. Congrats girls!

Excellent News for Vocab.com. Last year’s winner for Massachusetts was a high school in Fall River. This year we have teamed up with GDRHS to take on last year’s winner. Sometime yesterday, our combined scores passed Fall River by two hundred points. Combined we have 18,452 words!

Good Sunday Evening,
I have just posted my weekend memo. There is quite a few things in there with regards to upcoming clubs as many of you have asked about clubs at the middle school. Please take a look.
Have a great week

Picture retake at the middle school is October 25th. If your student was absent on September 10th for the first photo or if you are not really happy with the 1st picture this will be the date. If you want the retake your student needs to return the original photo to the photographer on the day of the retake.


Just had our first virtual PTO meeting. If you are interested in being part of the middle school PTO team please send me an email and I will connect you with the team.
Have a great night.
