Gettys Middle: Weeekly Newsletter

Dear GMS Families,

This week we will begin our recognition of Black History Month. We have a team of teachers and students who will work together to recognize the important contributions made by African Americans in our country.

We are also getting close to the interim reporting period for the third nine weeks. This is a great time for students to check for any missing assignments and to work with their teachers to check for any gaps in their learning. It's also a great time to set goals for finishing the nine weeks strong. Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Jacob Nelson

Principal, Gettys Middle School.

Gettys Robotics team won four awards at the Cougar VRC Competition this past weekend! Team 77240B (Jaxson McDaniel, Kage Stueber, Charlie Leach) won Tournament Champions. Team 77240G (Alex Salvador, Hunter Stephens, Noah Sobczak) won Skills Champion, Tournament Finalist, and the Excellence Award. The Excellence Award is the top award at the competition and qualifies them for the state championships. Team 77240G is also ranked 3rd in the state for skills! We now have two teams qualified for state competition! These two teams have worked very hard this season and we're so proud of how far they have come!

Congratulations to the outstanding 7th and 8th grade Gettys band students who were honored at the SDPC All-County Honor Band Clinic on Tuesday at Pickens HS. They spent two days learning new and challenging music they had never seen before, and put on an outstanding concert! These students represent the best of Pickens County Band Programs
