Middle School

This last Friday our middle school students participated in the Term 1 Fun Day, This day had students broken up into teams with lots of different types of games to score points.

We wanted to take a moment and thank our middle and high school FCCLA students who represented the G-E-T school district at the Apple Affair this weekend. They demonstrated the values of our school community through their hard work, enthusiasm, and professionalism. Several community members shared positive comments with me about how impressed they were with our students' behavior and engagement. Overall, the chili cook-off was a success;

Check out the amazing sewing skills of our 8th grade students. These FCS students , taught by Ms. Burritt, worked hard to prepare their tote and draw string bags.

In support of October being manufacturing month, 6th grade students from G-E-T had the opportunity to learn more about Ashley Furniture Industries. Students toured Ashley’s advanced manufacturing operations, highlighting the implementation of the many technological advancements in robotics and automation. While touring they heard various manufacturing employees speak on various areas of Ashley Furniture including automation, fabrication, assembly, quality, and more.

Happy National Custodians Day to our two amazing middle school custodians. Thank you John and Emily and all the great G-E-T custodians for keeping our schools looking so good.

Last week a group of students attended the Special Fester Carnival during the Oktoberfest opening. Special Fester Carnival is designed for community members with special needs and abilities. They also stopped at McDonald's for lunch to practice skills that they have been learning about, such as ordering from fast foods as well as calculating prices to stay within a budget.

Congrats to our Caught Being Good Winners. We had an extra drawing this month for students that allowed them to put their tickets in for a gift card. Way to go middle school students!

We are just beginning Unit 2: Early Peoples, in which we will focus our studies on answering the essential question of “Why was the invention of farming revolutionary?”. This week, sixth-graders explored factors that contributed to the formation of early human societies in a multi-day activity. To “survive,” they needed to secure food (hunting or farming), shelter, and water within a limited amount of time, first as individuals and then as members of a group. While most students “survived” on the individual day, the majority of students seemed to find the group day to be less stressful and much easier to secure food, shelter, and water by working together. Many students discovered that geographical factors, such as distance from the river, could have a significant impact on the time available to complete all the tasks. They also experienced how the invention of the pottery wheel could assist with daily survival tasks. Please ask your child about their experiences gathering water, finding food, and building shelters this week.

During homecoming week, our middle school organized a food drive. Students, staff, and families rallied to donate non-perishable food, resulting in an impressive collection of over 600 items. The generosity of our school spirit not only celebrated homecoming but also made a significant impact by providing much-needed supplies to the local food pantry.
