This past Saturday, February 11, we had students from both GMS and GHS participate in the MSBOA District VII Honors Orchestra. Students are nominated by their director and then selected by MSBOA to participate. The GMS students participated in a Sectional Rehearsal night on Wednesday, February 8 from 6-8pm as well as the all-day event on Saturday, February 11. The Middle School students worked with guest conductor, Matthew Bridges, Director of Orchestras at Grandville High School. The HS students worked with guest conductor, John Varineau, retired Associate Conductor of the Grand Rapids Symphony. The all-day event concluded with a performance by both the Middle School and High School Honors Orchestras. Please congratulate these students if you see them--they worked very hard and the concert was just magical!
Mrs. Butler met with 8th-grade students to continue developing their Educational Development Plans (EDP). Students identified soft skills they are currently using as middle school students and discussed how they are transferred in the workplace.
Behind every student is a school counselor who encourages them to dream big and be bold. We appreciate our school counselors that are making a big difference!!

Greetings Greenville Public Schools Family!
It's that special time of year where GPS staff, parents, and students tempt fate and plunge into the icy waters of a frozen lake to benefit the Special Olympics. The Polar Plunge will again be close to home at Turk Lake and take place on Saturday, February 4th. The Special Olympics do some pretty amazing things for some of our very own students right here in Greenville. It's a very worthwhile organization and this event is one of their biggest fundraisers.
If any of you are brave enough to join the other crazy people, it's really not too bad....just a bit of a shock to the system! It's for a great cause. If you'd like to join the Frozen Jackets, please email Mr. Walsh (Principal of Baldwin Heights Elementary and Captain of the Frozen Jackets) at mike.walsh@gpsjackets.org.
If you'd rather support the Frozen Jackets by donating some much needed funds, please donate ONLINE by going to this website: https://give.classy.org/frozenwalsh23. Click on the "Donate" button and follow the directions.
Thanks for your support!
Nominate an outstanding staff member today!
