October 26, 2025
Dear Families,
Congratulations to Oliver Lamin, whose lucky Feinstein Ticket won PVES $2,000.00. The Feinstein Foundation allowed Oliver to choose an organization to make a $500.00 donation. Oliver chose the Mystic Aquarium’s Animal Rescue Program. Happy Belated Birthday Oliver!
A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Marques-Jordan, Unified, our staff, and our PTO for another successful Pumpkin Palooza. Our school community appreciates all of your efforts to provide this opportunity for our students and unified friends at GMS and SHS.
Lost & Found
Our Lost & Found is growing. All unclaimed items will be donated on Friday, October 31st. We highly recommend you put your child’s name on all belongings to ensure any lost items are returned to them.
