The Military Child
April is Month of the Military Child, and we recently sat down with military-connected students in the PAWdcast Club and staff members who shared and reflected on what it’s like growing up as a military child. You will also hear all the events going on the week of April 25th as Great Bridge Middle celebrates our military students through a "Military Child Spirit Week!" Thank you to the students and staff that participated and to all the military-connected families! We salute you.
Music in Our School
It's "Music in Our Schools Month" and all I can say is that music is thriving here at GBMS! We are so lucky to have such a highly talented and fun group of music educators. In this episode, students in the PAWdcast club, who also happen to be taking a music class, have a great discussion with all the teachers in the Music Department. We discussed their musical backgrounds, their interests, and they shared some of their personal experiences and stories. Not only did we get to know them a little better, but we were also able to see and hear why they are such a wonderful group that inspires students every day. We hope you enjoy this episode!
National Foreign Language Week
In this episode, we get a chance to hear from our Spanish teachers, Senora Palos and Senora Chavez about all the great events going on in our school during the week of March 6 to celebrate National Foreign Language Week! We also have some wonderful students with different cultural backgrounds discuss their cultures and share their experiences. This episode was so much fun and we all learned so much from each other. I can't wait for the next episode with this great group, because we were just getting started!
