What an amazing job by GHS STUCO, Leadership, and the COW Week Committee!!! Another amazing year for COW Week!!! They had charitable donations totaling $129,061! Making such a strong statement about what is possible when students are motivated to help Change Our World!!! Too many people helped to properly list them all, but a special shoutout to the sponsors: Mrs. Guthridge and Mrs. Kerr!!! Their tireless work is a testament to the capacity educators have for sacrifice and giving!!!

Twenty middle school students and two high school students traveled to OSU on March 6 and 7 to participate in the Oklahoma State Science and Engineering Fair. To attend the state fair, they had to qualify at the Regional Science Fair held at NEO in January. Seven of our students placed and an additional six students received special awards. As always, we are beyond proud of all of our students' accomplishments.
Thank you to our science teachers and Science Fair Coordinators, Mrs. Deason and Mr. Fleming for guiding our students throughout this process and for taking them to Stillwater; along with Mrs. Woods, Nurse Shannon Johnson, Mrs. Thompson, Mrs. Sheryl Fleming, and Mrs. Vanessa Byers for traveling with the students.
Additionally, we appreciate GEFEE, Rotary, and community members for your continued support of our science department at GMS.
