We're extremely thankful to Adena Health Foundation for their continued support and generous donation of 20 winter coats to Greenfield Middle School students!
Students in the GMS HI-Y Club held their monthly meeting and learned about Robert's Rules of Order. Students then worked on a project where they learned about attributes of a GREAT leader. They then wrote down what they think makes one and discussed how each one of them have qualities that make them a GREAT leader.
Students in Mrs. Dyer's 7th grade math classes worked in partners to practice the skills learned in a new section they started - percentages as proportional relationships. A little friendly competition for Tiger Paws is a great way to end the week.
For the safety of our students, families, and staff members, our district will be on a two hour delay Wednesday, November 20, 2024. Please remember that no breakfast is served on days when there is a delay.
In Mrs. Black's class, students are stepping up their ELA game by diving into two powerful pieces of literature—a short story and a poem—to explore and analyze how the theme is reflected through the characters' moods and attitudes. They're not just reading; they're building rigor through writing, using the texts to support their ideas and explore deeper, more complex concepts. It’s a journey of literary exploration where every word and mood shift leads them to a better understanding of how stories and poems shape the way we see the world!
Students in Miss Jaycox's 6th grade math class found the distance between two points through a partner matching activity.
Mrs. Shrout's sixth grade math Quest students, who finished their work early, organized their binders today for other classes. We made colorful homemade dividers and organized our work. When we're organized, we don't lose our work, and our grades improve!
Some of Ms. Bolender and Mrs. Eikenberry's students completed a bonus event to show their understanding of Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken." These are just a few of the awesome creations and responses.

Thank you to all three companies for their hospitality! We also want to thank Lacy Wise from Techsolve for her donation to feed our students, Kyler Kelley and Super Sport Pizza for the pizza delivery, Mark Bihl for organizing the entire event, and our wonderful staff who supervised the trip!
Seventh graders in Miss Smith's class got to use the VR headsets for the first time today. Way to persevere and be engaged!
Last week, Mrs. Harper's 7th grade science classes were introduced to the periodic table through a fun candy sort exercise.
Each student received a bag of assorted candy, which they used to create their own categories for sorting.
After sorting their candy, students sketched their categories and wrote explanations to enhance their understanding of classification, similar to how elements are organized in the periodic table.
It was a wonderfully engaging way for students to think critically and creatively about their upcoming lesson on the periodic table.
Please take a minute to read the GMS Paws*itive Press for the month of October!
The Kona Ice Truck will be at the middle school this Friday!
