💥🔬 Students in Ms. Dzuris's 7th grade science class are putting their chemistry skills to the test! Today, they explored chemical reactions to solve real-world problems by investigating MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat). Some brave scientists even took a bite… though most weren’t exactly asking for seconds! 😆🍽️ Science can be adventurous—and a little tasty… or not!

Mrs. Brophy’s 7th Grade Literacy Takes on the Library!

Our 7th graders had a fantastic visit to the public library! Youth Services Director, Bailey, welcomed students and introduced them to a variety of literacy genres. After learning about each one, students voted for their favorites — and their choices will help guide new additions to the Young Adult section!

Some students also signed up for the library’s digital service, giving them access to books right from home.

They wrapped up their visit in the Children’s Section, where students explored the puppet area, played games, and got creative at the activity table. So much hands-on fun and learning! 🎨🤹‍♂️

A huge thank you to the library team for an engaging and memorable experience for our GCMS students!

🦃🚗 Nothing like a surprise turkey sighting to start the school day!

If you were a little alarmed pulling into car rider drop-off yesterday morning… don’t worry — that giant turkey roaming the sidewalk wasn’t wild at all!

He flew a little too close to the office, and we were able to “catch” him — turns out it was just our 8th grade math teacher, Mr. Bekkerus, spreading some pre-break joy!

✨ 5th Grade Literacy Fun Before Break! ✨
Today in 5th grade literacy, we brought Among Us to the classroom for a fun and engaging day of learning! Our “tasks” included putting together a puzzle of Ms. Schulz, matching vocabulary words to their definitions, team-building to create the tallest tower, unscrambling sentences, and even reading a passage in silly voices.

Such a fun way to wrap up the week before break — lots of learning, teamwork, and laughter! 💛📚🎉

Happy Career Awareness Month! 🌟 At Greene County Middle School, we're dedicated to helping our students explore all the possibilities their futures hold, and we've been busy!

Our career exploration kicked off in October when our entire 8th-grade class visited the campus of Iowa Central Community College (ICCC). Students got to see a college campus, learn about different programs, participate in hands-on learning in a career pathway of their choosing, and start thinking about "what's next" to help plan for high school.

But that's not all! A small group of students also had the amazing opportunity to attend the Building Skilled Trades Expo in Des Moines. They got hands-on experience with in-demand careers and learned directly from professionals in fields like construction, electrical, welding, and more! 🛠️

We are so proud to provide these opportunities for our students to find their passion!

We may have been missing a few teachers today… but don’t worry — it was just because we had a whole bunch of GCMS staff in disguise!

Our teachers brought the fun and kept everyone guessing. Thanks to our amazing staff for always leaning into the joy and making school a great place to be!
