🎂✨ At Glade Spring Middle, our EmpowerEd students found a sweet way to celebrate and learn at the same time!
They baked a birthday cake for one of their classmates — practicing math skills, measurement, and following directions along the way. 🎉

🚀🥚 At Glade Spring Middle School, Ms. Stevens’s 6th grade Exploring Technology students put their engineering skills to the test!
They designed 3D-printed containers and padded them with recycled materials to see if they could protect an egg during a rooftop drop experiment.
Let’s just say the eggs didn’t quite make it this round… but the students had a cracking good time learning about design, problem-solving, and testing ideas!

Lauren K. and Kylee H. work hard every day to make sure our country and state flags are flying proudly over GsMS.

Here is a picture of last week’s and this week’s Remarkable Rebels: These student were recognized by a teacher or staff member for going above and beyond to make GSMS a great place to learn and grow.

After starting the morning at Meadowview Elementary, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and special guests continued their visit at Glade Spring Middle School!

There, they met with students to share the importance of the National Child Identification Program I.D. Kit — a tool designed to help families keep their children safe.

We are grateful to AG Miyares, Former Governor George Allen, Delegate Israel O’Quinn, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and our community partners for taking the time to empower and educate our students.

Together, we’re working to keep kids safe both online and in our community.

Students in Ms. Cannon’s Science class are using a triple beam balance to measure mass.

At this time, all GSMS football games will now have a kickoff time of 6:00PM.

“Congratulations to Hunter G., Noah P., and Ryder G. for being recognized as Remarkable Rebels! These students have gone above and beyond in showing leadership, responsibility, and a positive attitude. We are proud to celebrate their hard work and character!”

Last week, Mrs. Beaird’s 6th grade students stepped into the role of candy shop designers! 🍭 Using Roald Dahl’s The Bicycle and the Sweet Shop as their guide, they applied creativity and critical thinking to craft menus, packaging, and advertising displays that blended literature with real-world skills. 📖🎨 #ELAclass #FutureInnovators”

Alex C. helped Mr. Hoffman capture an aerial view of GSMS with a drone.

Mrs. Beaird’s 8th grade student detectives gathered clues from Joan Aiken’s Lob’s Girl—piecing together evidence to uncover the powerful theme of loyalty and belonging. 🐾🔍 #ELAinAction #StudentDetectives
