Congratulations to all our Spelling Bee participants! All participants displayed their smarts and courage today in front of their peers. Special congratulations to our Champion Myles Wilson (8th grade), and our runner-up Ava Terrell (6th grade).
Thank you to our panel of judges, Ms. PC, Ms. Buell, Mrs. Wilson, and Spelling Bee organizer Ms. Bost.

The Graham Middle School Spelling Bee was scheduled for Wednesday, 1/28. With the cancellation, we have determined we will hold the Spelling Bee on the next date we have school, even if we have a delay. The spelling bee will begin approximately 30 minutes after school starts, which will allow the organizers time to prepare the participants. Families of participants are still welcome to attend if available. We do still ask that you report to the office to sign in (8am for normal day, 10am for delay).

Who wants to go for a run/walk today? This cold weather sounds like the perfect time to drop our plans for the 2026 Falcon 5K Color Blast! Mark your calendars for May 2nd. After receiving amazing feedback from our 2025 participants, the 2026 edition of the Falcon 5K will once again be a "Color Run" type of event.

GMS Digital Day Plan (If Needed)
Ohio School districts are "allowed" 5 calamity days each school year, and at Graham Local Schools, we have currently used 5 of our 5 days.
In the event that all five of our calamity days are used, Graham Local Schools will implement our online learning days.
GMS staff will be available to students throughout the day through email and google classroom. Teachers will also have specific times that they will host Google Meet sessions in which students can get online and ask specific questions about assignments they are to be working on during the closure.
Here is the video meet schedule for our teachers:
All Related Arts teachers: 9:00am-10:30am
All ELA teachers: 9:15am-10:45am
All Math teachers: 9:30am-11:00am
All Science teachers: 9:45am-11:15am
All Social Studies teachers: 10:00am - 11:30am
All work assigned to be completed on Digital Days is due no later than 5 school days from the closure.
