Motor skills, sounds, animals and more were taught by 8th graders in Mrs. Strohms FACS classes today when preschool students came to visit. Our own students applied their learning of preschool age child development, social interactions, and  food service. 

Andrea Kastorff came in to speak with 7th grade Geography students today and share her experiences from visiting central Africa.

Messages Which Are Hopeful, a performing arts group, stopped by GMS today to share with our students some encouraging and uplifting stories. 

Donna Gephart, author of the book “Death By Toilet Paper” came to Geneseo Middle School today to conduct three unique writing and reading sessions with students.  In the morning Donna, and some of our ELA staff, worked with a group of young aspiring writers in a Writing Workshop.  In the afternoon Mrs. Gephart conducted an all-school assembly where GMS students were able to hear about her writing experiences, the story behind the story of her book, and got a glimpse into the life of a world renowned author.  At 6:30 pm in the GMS Gym, the annual On the Same Page event hosted a Toilet Paper Fair with a fashion show, book signing and speaking by Donna Gephart, and much more.  It is open to the public.  Thanks to all who have been part of this amazing opportunity.
