GMS is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps to share the magic of the season!
From now until December 17, students are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to their homeroom class to donate to Toys for Tots. All donated toys will go directly to children in Delaware County.

GMS Student Council proudly organizes this event.
Let’s come together as Ridgerunners and make a difference this holiday season!

GMS Students of the Month for Kindness exemplify what it means to be a true Ridgerunner. These students consistently treat others with compassion, respect, and empathy. They look for opportunities to help classmates, build others up, and create a welcoming environment in our school. Their positive attitudes reflect the Ridgy Way—Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe—and inspire those around them to do the same.
Congratulations, 7th graders Ryder Haynes and Jaedynn Price, and 8th graders Locklyn Ward and Pierce Jones.
A special thank you to Webb & Winkelman Insurance Agency for your continued support of GMS; each student recognized received a $25 gift card.

🎭 GMS Drama Shines On Stage! Mr. Gilmore’s drama students put on an unforgettable show with their fall play, Sam Shovel, Private Eye! Held in the GMS auditorium on November 17th and 20th, the performance mixed humor, mystery, and suspense as students brought a 1940s-style radio detective story to life on stage. From the talented actors to the hardworking backstage crew, every student played a part in making the production a success. 👏 Great job, Mr. Gilmore, and congratulations to all the performers for an outstanding show!
