Due to a scheduling conflict with our partners from MSU Nursing, the Wellness and Health Fair has been postponed.
A new date will be announced soon.
This shift gives us the opportunity to expand the experience—adding more workshops and bringing in additional health and wellness vendors to better serve our community.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to hosting an even stronger event. Stay tuned for updates.

Your voice matters as we finalize priorities for the upcoming school year.

Clean Out. Give Back. Raise Funds.
On Apr 11 & May 23, bring your gently used:
Clothes
Shoes (paired)
Bedding & linens
Towels
Small household items
Bag soft goods. Box home goods. Drop them off at GHEMS.
We’ll deliver everything to Savers, where it’s weighed and converted into cash for our school.
No selling. No hassle. Just impact.
Start cleaning out now — every bag helps our students.

Our students have officially accepted the GHEMS 60-Day Attendance Challenge, and that starts with a simple goal: show up every day, ready to learn.
Parents and guardians—this is where you come in. 60 students were sent home with on orange student-signed pledge sheet. Prior to returning, they will be seeking your signature as well.
Consistent attendance doesn’t happen by accident. It takes:
✔️ Routines at home
✔️ Encouragement each morning
✔️ A clear message that school matters
Every day your child shows up, they build confidence, stay on track academically, and move closer to their goals.
Let’s work together to keep that momentum going.
Check in with your scholar. Celebrate their progress. Hold them accountable.
Because success starts with showing up.

The safety of our students and drivers is our top priority. Routes will be adjusted as needed based on road conditions, and families will be individually notified in the case of any changes.
MTA bus transportation may experience delays as well. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this prolonged period of inclement weather.
