GMS Student Council – Cohort of 2026–2027
Leadership is rising at BIG BLUE! 💙🐾
We received over 85 student applications from students who wanted to step up, lead, and represent Georgetown Middle School. After careful review of applications, grades, and teacher recommendations, a group of outstanding students has been selected to serve as the GMS Student Council Cohort of 2026–2027.
These students demonstrated leadership, responsibility, character, and a commitment to making our school even better. We are incredibly proud of the effort shown by every student who applied.
Congratulations to our newly selected Student Council members! We look forward to seeing the great ideas, leadership, and BIG BLUE spirit you will bring to Georgetown Middle School. 💙✨
The future of leadership is bright at GMS! 🐾💙

📣🥁 Calling All Future Band Stars! 🎺✨
The High School Band Director has announced an exciting opportunity for our students! There will be a Color Guard Clinic and Drumline Clinic coming up soon, and it’s the perfect chance for students to learn new skills, meet other band members, and see what all the band excitement is about.
If you are interested in participating, Mr. Bailey is the contact person here at GMS. He will have the registration forms available and will collect them once they are completed.
💲 Clinic Fee: $10
Now listen… if you’ve ever been tapping on the lunch table, beating on the desk, or drumming on pots and pans at home… 👀 this might be your calling! Your parents might actually be happy to see you drum somewhere other than in the kitchen. 😂
Come out, learn something new, and let’s make some noise the RIGHT way! 🎶

Note from Mr. Bailey's Desk:
We would like to share a big thank you to Mr. Ryan Young from Green Sea Floyds for taking the time to come work with our Georgetown Middle School Band students as we prepare for Concert Performance Assessment!
Mr. Young shared his expertise, offered valuable feedback, and helped our students focus on the musical details that take a performance to the next level. Our band students have been working incredibly hard, and today’s clinic helped highlight just how much growth and progress they’ve made.
We’re proud of the dedication and improvement our students are showing as they continue preparing for CPA. Thank you again, Mr. Young, for supporting our program and encouraging our young musicians!

Let’s talk about our Black History Month Program speaker… Ms. Jaedyn Gibson! 👏🏾✨
Now listen… she was an absolute delight! And before y’all start whispering… yes, she’s family 🤭… but trust me, that’s not the reason she was so amazing.
Jaedyn knows what perseverance and strength truly look like. As a sickle cell warrior, she stands as a powerful inspiration to young people everywhere. Her story is a true testament that no matter what life throws your way… YOU CAN MAKE IT!
We were truly honored that she graced us with her presence on February 25, 2026, for our Black History Month Program. The students were engaged, locked in, and soaking up every word. You motivated them in such a powerful way, and we are so grateful for that.
Thank you, Jaedyn, for sharing your story and your strength with our students.
BIG BLUE ALL DAY! 💙

February 2026 was definitely one for the books… and let’s be honest, it’s the month the best and brightest were born 😉🎉… but anywhooo!
Now listen… I know I’m a little late with this post, but your girl was dealing with technical difficulties with a new device 😩. The good news is… we are back up and fully operational now! 💻✨
So let’s get back to the point…
All month long in February we celebrated Black History Month in true BIG BLUE style! 💙 From music filled with rich Black history to students stepping up during morning announcements to share facts that taught us something new every day — it was powerful, meaningful, and completely student-led.
Our Black History Month Committee truly did their thing! 👏🏾 The students showed up and showed out, and we are so proud of the hard work, talent, and pride that filled the building.
Take a look at a few moments from our Black History Assembly held during school on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 📸✨

Let’s give it up for our GMS Math Team Mathletes led by Ms. Irvin! 👏📐
Our Bulldogs had the chance to compete in the Coastal Carolina High School Math Competition — and yes, you read that right… MIDDLE SCHOOLERS stepping into a HIGH SCHOOL math arena! 😮 Last year we brought home the WIN 🏆 and while we came up a little short this time, we are still beyond proud of our students for showing up and showing out.
Because let’s be real… math will really humble you real quick — one minute it’s 2 + 2, next thing you know they're asking you to find the square root of your confidence... MATH IS TOUGH. 🤣
Way to represent GMS! BIG BRAIN ENERGY all day 🧠💙

BIG shoutout to the VOICES of GMS!
Our students participated in the All County Chorus and let’s just say… they did not come to play — they came to saaaaannnngggggg! 🎤
Ms. Filchak is overjoyed, and we are beyond proud of the students who helped give the choir that extra sound and harmony.
Because let’s be real… a choir without strong voices is just a group of people breathing together 😂
Congratulations to our talented Bulldogs! Keep lifting your voices and making BIG BLUE sound good! 💙🎶

Good Afternoon, Bulldog Family 💙🐾
Sickness is definitely in the air right now. Please remember to encourage your children to wash their hands often and take care of themselves. We absolutely love having our students at school, but if they are not feeling well, let’s prioritize their health and allow them time to rest and recover before returning.
Right now, Nurse Nesmith is operating like we have a full GMS emergency room, and we want to help lighten that load by keeping our sick babies home until they are well.
We are praying for quick recoveries and healthier days ahead. BIG BLUE, let’s take care of ourselves and each other 💙

🖤✨ IT IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND WHAT A DELIGHT ✨🖤
Ms. V. Smith presented an amazing opportunity for some of our 6th grade students to visit the International African American Museum. This incredible museum is home to twelve permanent exhibitions, including nine galleries, a Special Exhibitions Gallery that rotates two to three exhibits each year, and ongoing digital exhibitions featured through the Google Arts and Culture platform.
Our students had an absolute blast while learning, exploring, and connecting with powerful history and culture. Experiences like this bring classroom lessons to life in meaningful ways. 📚🌍
A huge thank you to everyone who helped chaperone and support this trip. BIG BLUE continues to create opportunities that matter. 💙🙌
