What's happening at GMS:

Children's House I:
We have studied other countries throughout the school year – now it’s our turn! We will learn about the USA, our flag, geography and great leaders of the past. We will introduce lessons about money (what better way to learn about Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson?) and learn the basic denominations of coins. Valentine’s Day will be observed on Friday, Feb 12th. and don't forget Not Just Desserts; each child has made 2 beautiful Mardi Gras masks for their family. Claim your child’s work when you arrive and be properly decked out for the festivities. See you there!
