2013 Summer Reading Challenge

We would like to encourage our students to stay involved in reading over the summer. Georgia is launching the 2013 Summer Reading Challenge to combat this summer loss in student reading ability. The Lexile “Find a Book” website can help identify books that students are interested in and are able to read. This tool can be found at www.Lexile.com/fab/GA. Information about the Georgia Department of Education’s Summer Reading Challenge initiative can be found at: http://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Curriculum-and-Instruction/Pages/Georgia-Summer-Reading-Challenge.aspx

GMS Shows PRIDE!

Parents, don't forget to register on our website.
You can keep up to date on your child's homework, tests, and upcoming school events.
Detailed directions are listed in the resources.
If you registered in the past, you will need to re-register for this school year.

We all shop for groceries, sometimes two or three times a week –- or more. Now turn those shopping trips into easy cash for Glennville Middle School, and encourage friends to do the same! Just look for the Box Tops logo on hundreds of products like Cheerios®, Hamburger Helper® and Kleenex®, in almost every aisle of the store. All you need to do is clip and send them to your child's homeroom teacher —- each one is worth 10¢ for your school.
Sign up on the Harvey's website: http://www.harveyseducationalrewards.com/cardno.php

Help our school get free equipment and you could win free groceries and an iPod from Harveys Supermarket. Each time you shop at Harveys our school earns credits toward free school equipment. All you have to do is log on to http://www.harveyseducationalrewards.com/ and register your Harveys Rewards Card 12 digit number. If you don't have a card, you can get one at a Harveys' register. Our school code is 47990.
