Thank you for supporting our Book Fair and joining us at Literacy Night. Our gross sales topped out at over $8100, which gives GEMS almost $4000 to spend in Scholastic Dollars to support our school to increase literacy, STEAM opportunities, and student engagement. We are grateful to be able to make fun memories with our students and families and appreciate all of the support!
The sixth graders had their traditional brunch with this year's theme of Titanic to align with their ELA unit. All of the centerpieces, name tags, and photo booth were made by Tiffany Jacobs. Thank you to all of the staff and families who made this an incredible experience!
Family Literacy Night was a blast! Thank you for attending to support the love of reading in your children.

The fourth grade students at GEMS are learning about Lewis and Clark as they prepare for the annual play put on by Ms. Carla. To deepen their learning, the students were visited by Gary Bush who played Toussaint Charbonneau. He provided an authentic experience that the students will never forget. Mr. Bush recognized our fourth graders as the best behaved students he has performed for, and he has traveled to many states. This was such an amazing opportunity!
The middle school students at GEMS competed in the Fleet Reserve Associations Americanism Essay Contest. The topic was "What Memorial Day means to me." In the region from Riggins to Potlatch, GEMS was awarded five of the six top places. For seventh grade, McKinley Harris took first and Alex Rogers took third. For eighth grade, LaDessa Heater took first, Pyper Hagen took second, and Kaleb Bailey took third. Mr. Edwards must also be recognized for supporting these students through the writing process. Congratulations Bulldogs! We are so proud of you!
