Eagle Scout Completes Project
If you have been around Middle School West recently, you may have noticed that students now have much more seating in our courtyard. The new picnic tables and benches are the result of the hard work and initiative of former West and GLHS student, Tyler Bishop. Working toward earning his rank as an Eagle Scout, Tyler met with me to propose a school improvement project. He said he wanted to give back to the school that had meant so much to him and to the young students attending West. In the end, Tyler raised money and coordinated support to build two benches and four picnic tables for students to use as they relax in the courtyard during their recess period. He also took the time to build a raised flower bed and to power wash a brick wall that was stained. With the school year off and running, I'm happy to report that his efforts are greatly appreciated by our students, and his tables and benches are getting plenty of use from students and community members. I thank Tyler for his selfless giving and impressive skills. He exemplifies what service to others means, and we are proud to call him a West Lion!

Welcome to the JUNGLE!!
The JUNGLE is our new school store at GMSW. The store is operated by GMSW students in Mrs. Turner & Miss Cotone's class. Students may visit the store during their lunch periods by signing out in the cafeteria to obtain a Jungle Pass. The Jungle sells a variety of basic school supplies including pencils, pens, binders, index cards, glue, pencil pouches, and more. Prices range from 25 cents to 4 dollars, with most items costing one dollar or less. Price lists are posted at the Jungle and around the school. We invite you to visit the next time you stop by!
