School's Out: Kickoff to a Safe Summer CANCELED 6/11/2026
A message from the School's Out Committee:
If you've been watching the weather, you see that at the moment it looks like it'll be a rough time this afternoon and evening.
As an outdoor event, focused on having a safe summer, we're obviously prioritizing participant safety, and that means we had to make the sad decision to cancel the event tonight. We're brainstorming ways to bring the event back some time this summer, and hope we'll still be able to showcase all the fun, safe, and enriching opportunities our community has to offer!
For those of you willing to brave the weather, a few kids activities will still be available in the community room downstairs in the Greendale Library between 3:00-7:00PM.
Sincerely,
The School's Out: Kickoff to a Safe Summer Organizing Committee

Every year, GMS 7th grade students are given the opportunity to participate in the Outdoor Education Program. The purpose of this off-campus program is to provide an outdoor experience that allows our students to: learn environmental concepts and ideas; learn to work together through problem solving and effective communication; and increase their leadership skills and sense of self-esteem. This year the students stayed at a camp in Lake Geneva May 20-21.
The GMS Gallery Night on May 13 was a fun celebration of the arts and community! Artwork from every Art student from the 25-26 school year was on display, showcasing their skills, talent and hard work. Inspiring performances from music students provided entertainment. Live art creation was supplied by GHS art students and everyone enjoyed community time with a tasty ice cream social.

On this past Earth Day, 8th graders on Team Discovery spent part of each science class showing care to our Earth on our school grounds. Students worked in chosen groups on chosen tasks of cleaning up litter and cutting down invasive buckthorn plants and bushes. They made memories on this beautiful spring day as they worked together to take out the trash in the school woods and lawns (so many snack wrappers!) and also created brush piles for wildlife in the wooded areas. Students expressed interest in continuing their efforts in the forest this spring. It was great to see students taking on leadership roles and initiative while having fun on this mini service project.

GMS students are taking on the role of Student Librarian by creating library displays for students to receive recommendations on their favorite books. This Panther created the first Student Librarian Display. She came up with the concept, designed the sign and chose which books to include. This project is a great way to promote literacy, student leadership, and peer-to-peer relationships. #PantherPride #LearnGrowEngageGreendale #CultivatingExcellence
