🎉 Happy School Principal Appreciation Day! 🎉
From rocking themed dress-up days to uplifting both teachers and students, we are so grateful for our amazing Principal, Ms. Charlotte Penn! Your leadership, encouragement, and school spirit mean the world to us! 🦬✨
And while we missed the official Assistant Principals Day last month, we definitely didn’t forget about the incredible Adam Bloodworth! Thank you for everything you do behind the scenes (and in front of the camera).
💫 You both lead with heart, humor, and hustle — and we appreciate you more than words can say!

It's time for another Staff Spotlight! It is always a blessing to learning more than just History from Mr. Booth. Thank you for all you do!
Mark your calendars and come out and support the GMS Lady Buff Softball Team!
