GMS had the opportunity to participate once again in this amazing experience, and our BIG BLUE 8th graders had a ball! 💙🐾
On January 14–15, our students attended Pathways to Possibilities (P2P) at the Myrtle Beach Convention Center, presented by the Frances P. Bunnelle Foundation.
P2P is an interactive career exploration event that helps students connect their passions to a paycheck 💼✨ Through hands-on activities and real conversations with professionals, our 8th graders explored a wide range of career paths, learned what a day on the job looks like, and discovered the education and training needed to reach their goals.
BIG BLUE is all about exposure, opportunity, and preparing our students for what’s next—and this experience delivered just that! 💙👏

Our problem? 😅
We LOVE doing everything BIG at BIG BLUE 💙🐾
Sometimes it catches up with us! But we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Last night was all about celebrating the heart of BIG BLUE ✨
We showed love to our 8th graders, who played their last home game, and took time to honor our teachers and student-athletes.
The B-Team Girls fought hard… didn’t get the win, but they’re still moving on to the Championship Tournament 👏🏽🔥
And the B-Team Boys? Let’s just say they’re lighting the trail straight to the championship too 🏀💪🏽
Take a look at the love, the support, and the FAMILY we have here at BIG BLUE 💙
Because around here… we don’t just show up…we SHOW OUT! 💙🐾

Good morning, Parents & Families!
I am excited to announce that today we are starting the Domino’s Pizza Fundraiser. The money raised will go towards student and staff incentives.
Here is a video that will explain everything you need to know about the program! The remaining eight videos should be watched throughout the course of the two weeks: The Slice the Price Card: Fundraising Made Easy - Day 1
Let’s begin by checking out your school’s dashboard: https://dash.dominos.cards/50109
Scroll down to the section “Register to Pick Your Prize” or click here https://register.dominos.cards/50109.
Once you register, your child will be able to pick their prize and share their very own store link!
Once the fundraiser is complete, they will receive the prize they selected from the highest level they qualify for.
After registering, share your child’s link via email, text, and social media!
When a customer clicks on your link, it will take them directly to your child’s store to purchase a card, and we will send the card directly to them.
Using your personalized link will ensure your child is given credit for the purchase.
Also, once you register you will have two chances to earn a $50 gift card!
The registered student with the most cards sold by 01/18 at 11:59 p.m. EST will win a $50 Gift Card (when our group sells at least 100 cards online).
For questions, please call the hotline number: 866-252-6103
