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. 💙🙌

Please help us support Mr. Baril through his DonorsChoose project. 💙
He wants to give his students a classroom they will always remember. 🌿 The best part of his students’ day is recess and being able to go outside, so he would like to bring the feeling of the outdoors into his classroom. ☀️🌳
This project will help create a learning space that is engaging, calming, and inspiring for young minds. 📚✨ Every donation, no matter the amount, makes a difference and brings this vision closer to reality. 🙌

📚💙 STORY TIME AT BIG BLUE 💙📚
Okayyyy listen… it is time to tell the story after holding this in for seven whole days. Whew.
So boom. Mrs. Jenny Cox tells me she is presenting a certificate to Mrs. Carolyn Wilson from the South Carolina Association of School Librarians because Mrs. Wilson won Paraprofessional of the Year. We are already excited, right? Stay with me. 👀
Then on Thursday Ms. White pulls me to the side and says, “Girl… not only did Mrs. Wilson win, but Mrs. Jenny Cox won Program of the Year with the South Carolina Association of School Librarians too.”
At this point we are all in complete secret mode. We have been in full blown hush hush operation trying not to spill the beans. We even had the family and loved ones in on it. The pressure was real. 😂
Now here is the twist. Mrs. Jenny Cox knew Mrs. Wilson was getting an award. Mrs. Wilson knew nothing. But Mrs. Jenny Cox had absolutely no idea she was getting honored too. They both found out at the exact same time. The reactions were priceless.
Babyyyy we are in full celebration mode over here at BIG BLUE. When we say we are promoting amazing things, we mean it. Excellence lives here and it shows. 💙✨
