GBMS Families & Community,
“You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world.
And you have to do it all the time.” 
Angela Davis 

We have had a lot to celebrate lately. Our Winter Showcase was beautiful. It was a reminder of the wonderful community we have. Many of us went to Birdcall to support our fundraising efforts and this week the staff is having their holiday party. Students will be celebrating next week at our Winter Social. It is a time for celebration, community and fun! Please reach out if you would like to sign up for our food pantry or need any extra support during the holidays. 

In Solidarity,
Mrs. Jennifer Anderson
Principal
Grant Beacon Middle School

The changing weather and bringing a coat to school. Sometimes we go outside and want our students to be nice and warm!
Celebrate

Our first outdoor Winter Showcase was a huge success! So many of our school community gathered together to support our student musicians and artists. Thank you to Ms. Gilmore for leading the music and electives departments with kindness and fun, and for creating opportunities for our students' talents to shine! We saw amazing artwork from Ms. Wilson’s art classes, and had the chance to meet our MindnSpire, AOPYO, New Cottage Arts, and Aerospace & Rocketry enrichments. Thank you to the Dude Bros Taco Truck for providing amazing food and our Beacon Family Group for 
volunteering to help!
We are so grateful for all who made food and monetary donations for our food pantry! We appreciate your support for our school communities!
