Happy June! It is impossible to believe that we have reached the end of the year. While I know we are all counting down the days until summer, I’m also reflecting back on the wonderful year we’ve had at the Middle School.
Congratulations to our 8th grade students - the Class of 2029! It has been amazing to witness the tremendous growth of these students over the past three years. Wishing you tons of success at the High School!
A huge THANK YOU to all PTA volunteers who have given their creativity and time to the Middle School this year. Our events are a success because of your dedication. We could not do it without you. We hope that you will continue to partner with us in the years to come!
Lastly, a huge thank you and many well wishes to Mr. Samuelson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience, kindness and humor, with our students and families in your time with us. We will miss you at the Middle School and wish you all the best in your next endeavour.
MS Events
On May 5th, the Middle School hosted a staff appreciation lunch for our amazing middle school staff. This event was a huge success. Thank you to all of the parents who donated supplies, and volunteered at the event.
On May 27, our 6th grade students were entertained by the fabulous musician, Jared Campbell. Jared shares his original music, which touches on themes such empathy, kindness, perseverance, finding your passion and connecting with and appreciating those around you. It was a fantastic event and we look forward to having him back in the future!
The PTA sponsored our 8th grade Middle School event last Friday, June 6. We had a great time treating the 8th graders and teachers to ice cream trucks and an end of year photo with Mr. Samuelson. Proofs of these photos will be sent out soon!
School Supply pickup was this past Saturday, June 7. If you ordered supplies but missed pick-up, please reach out to me as soon as possible, middleschool@gardencitypta.org. If you would still like to order supplies, you can order here for home delivery.
