The faculty, staff, and students at GMS are incredibly grateful for our school counselors, Mrs. Tonya Goldner and Mrs. Debi Robbins. This appreciation is especially highlighted during National School Counselors Week. These remarkable individuals go above and beyond every day for GMS, and we are truly thankful for their efforts. They play essential roles in various areas including enrollment, guidance, fostering school culture, ICAP, Red Ribbon Week, site and district testing, career exploration, and much more. Thank you for all that you do, ladies!



🎉 Happy National School Counseling Week! 🎉
This week, we celebrate Mrs. Erin Wall, our incredible upper elementary school counselor, who goes above and beyond to help our students thrive!
