GMES Warriors are Soaring! We are excited celebrate the hard work of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in their Math Fluency Flight program! At the end of last month, 145 students were invited to take part in a well-deserved, celebratory recess! Why? Because they earned the prestigious "All 4 Dragons" for five or more weeks! That is some serious dedication to mastering math facts! Way to go, Warriors! Keep those math skills sharp! #RPSWarriors #MathFluency #StudentAchievement #SoaringToSuccess

Happy Principals Month! We want to take a moment to spotlight the leadership team at GMES. We are so fortunate to have Principal Dan Aragon and Dean of Students Madison Newman guiding our Warriors. Ms. Newman is a dedicated veteran, now in her second year as a Warrior, and Mr. Aragon has quickly made GMES his new home this school year.

Did you know that Hispanic Heritage Month began on September 15? The date is significant because it's the anniversary of independence for several Latin American countries! The traditions, languages, and unique perspectives enrich our classrooms. Our district is proud to be a place where we can learn from and honor the traditions, achievements, and stories of our Hispanic and Latino families.
