Reminder today 11/21 we have two great opportunities to get involved in the GMS community! First from 4PM-8PM is the boys basketball fundraiser at SkyZone. A portion of the proceeds go back to the boys basketball! Then from 5:45 to 7:00 is BINGO Night at GMS presented by the Family and Community Engagement Team. Please consider coming at 5:30 to the FACE meeting to learn more on how you can get involved before Bingo. Maybe go jump around from 4 to 530 and then head back to Grant for some bingo, we hope to see you later on?! -GMS Admin.
