A New Chapter In Life
A bittersweet day is quickly approaching for many Enota fifth graders: they are preparing to enter middle school. Many students at Enota have attended their school since Kindergarten. Most fifth graders say they are ready to take the next step but will miss Enota at the same time.
Abigail Council, a fifth grader in Ms. Mathes' class, states "I can't wait. It's going to be fun to meet new people and have a lot of different teachers each semester." Meanwhile, in Ms. Vo's fifth grade class, Monica Castillo is a little more hesitant. "I'm looking forward to going to sixth grade with all my friends. The middle school is so big, I worry about getting lost!"
As Enota's fifth graders prepare to embark on their next journey in life, they will continue the legacy of academic excellence and will be ready to take on the middle school.

| Filling Empty Bowls for Hungry Souls
On April 30, Gainesville Middle School hosted its first Empty Bowl project. Art teacher Katherine Ware organized the event and worked with students, faculty and community members to make over 100 bowls. Food generously donated by local restaurants filled empty bowls and helped to raise over $600 for Good News at Noon, a local community outreach agency that assists families and individuals in need. We are proud of GMS for this incredible act of servitude to our Gainesville community.

Learning Beyond the Classroom 
Students have worked diligently within the classroom all year mastering core subjects in preparation of entering the workforce someday. Recently, students were able to venture outside of their classrooms to engage in hands-on learning opportunities. Healthcare Science students visited the Center of Disease Control in Atlanta to learn about various infectious diseases and the importance of preventative healthcare. In a different setting, a group of students participated in the election process at a local voting precinct where they learned about local government practices. From their experiences, students were able to apply knowledge learned within the classroom to the actual workplace environment. |
