Last week, we celebrated Teacher Appreciation Week by taking our incredible staff on a "Trip Around the World" — a small way to say THANK YOU for everything they do! At Greene County Middle School, our vision is only possible because of the passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment of our teachers. They show up every day with heart, purpose, and a drive to make a difference in the lives of our students — and we are so grateful. To all of our teachers: THANK YOU for believing in our students, supporting one another, and bringing the GCMS vision to life. None of this would be possible without YOU! #ThankYouTeachers #GCMSProud #WhyNotGreeneCounty #TeacherAppreciationWeek #TripAroundTheWorld

Dear Ram Families, This morning, our middle school was briefly placed in a hold for approximately 17 minutes while a random and unannounced K9 sweep was conducted in coordination with the Greene County Sheriff’s Department. The K9 unit worked through the hallways as part of our ongoing efforts to maintain a safe and secure learning environment for all students and staff. We want to assure you that the hold was implemented as a precautionary safety measure and that there was no threat to students or staff at any time. Classes continued within classrooms during the hold, and normal operations resumed shortly afterward. We are grateful for the continued partnership with Greene County law enforcement, and we appreciate their proactive support in helping us ensure the safety of our schools. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our district. Greene County CSD

🎶 What an Amazing Experience! 🎶 Today our talented 5th–8th grade Band students had the incredible opportunity to participate in a Mega Band event, joining forces with our 9th–12th grade band to perform for our incoming 5th graders! 🎺🥁🎷 The goal? To give our future band members a real taste of the excitement, unity, and musical magic that comes with being part of the band family — and it was a huge success! This event was more than just a performance — it was a true testament to the dedication, passion, and teamwork that Mr. and Mrs. Anderson and Mr. Palmer pour into our 5–12 band program every single day. 💚🎼 We are so proud of our students and staff for making this event such a memorable and inspiring experience! #WhyNotGreeneCounty #MegaBandMagic #BandFamily #MusicMatters
