Did you know? Every year the GT social studies groups participate in National History Day. Last year, current GMS 8th grader David Gilbert's documentary came in THIRD IN THE NATION! He had the opportunity to receive feedback from Ken Burns and was interviewed by the Press Herald.

Wishing everyone an amazing November,
Dr. Monte Selby, GMS 6-8 principal
