Bryson Middle School

This school year, we’re all about building school pride and creating a more cohesive learning environment! 🎉 Our students have been having so much fun designing homeroom flags that represent their class and the unique individuals within them. To take it up a notch, they’ve also come up with class chants to build team spirit and unity.

Today, we judged the 6th grade chants, and they were AMAZING! 🎶🙌 Tomorrow, it's 7th grade’s turn to shine, and we can't wait to see their creativity and teamwork in action! Go team! 🏆

GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support. We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.

In Mr. Rice’s 7th grade ELA class, students are diving into their first unit called Reality Check. They are focusing on mastering the structure of text-dependent writing as they respond to the story “Mirror Image” by Lena Coakley. This skill is crucial for their upcoming tests, and these young learners are already doing an amazing job! They’re well on their way to success!

Along with the excitement of the PAWS Pep Rally, our 6th graders also got to enjoy Kona Ice, generously provided by our amazing PTSA, and a picnic lunch with their entire grade level. 🍧🥪 Today’s events were a perfect way to celebrate our 6th graders finishing their first full week as middle schoolers.
