Turkey Trot Very cold weather in the forecast means the Turkey Trot will now be delayed until Monday 25 November. Thank you to the PTA for organizing another annual Turkey Trot. We will run a Thursday bell schedule for the day and the whole school will gather to run at 13:10. School will end as normal at 14:30.

Thrilling Thursday Registration starts this Saturday 23 November! Registration and Payments can be made at the Hausberg Lodge on 23, 29, 30 November, and 1 December, between 0800-1200hrs and 1230-1630 hrs. These dates are specially offered to GEMS families. If these dates don't work, you can sign up any day after December 1, but you may have to wait in lines as the ski school will be open to all then.  

Thrilling Thursday Scholarship Deadline is Friday 22 November. The Garmisch Community Club is graciously offering some scholarships to help offset the cost of this program. Please reach out directly to the GCC: gccmembership1@gmail.com for more information about this. 

School Meal Selection (Grades K-8 only): Each week, if you have a child eating a school meal on any day, you will need to fill out a meal selection form for EACH child. If your child is bringing lunch from home, you do NOT need to fill out the selection form. A new Meal Selection link will be emailed out each week on Thursday or Friday. The menu for the week is posted on the GEMS website too at School Meals Program | Garmisch Elementary Middle School | DoDEA
