Half Day Friday: February 7 is a half day for students. School will be released at 1130 for staff professional development.

COIN WARS February 3 to 13: Back by popular request! See the flyer below for information. Proceeds go towards funding Haus shirts (with a snappy new logo) for every student. 

PTA hearts: A paper heart came home with your child(ren) last week. The PTA is asking parents to write an encouraging message to your child (1 heart per child). Please send the finished heart back to school by February 6. Thank you for your help in spreading the love! 

1000 books before High School GEMS is supporting our base library with their awesome program called '1000 Books before High School'. Students can count any book they read from the GEMS library and the base library towards their goal of 1000 books. They also receive a prize for every 100 books they read! Please see the flyer below for more information, or contact Ms. B at laini.blanchard@dodea.edu

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
