We want to kick off National Arts in Education Week by giving a huge shout out to Jessica Clayton- Wilhite and Thomas Hargrave. Mrs. Clayton-Wilhite teaches art to ALL of our students in addition to teaching 7th grade geography and civics! The students love going to her art class and exercising their creativity! Mr. Hargrave directs our GHMS band. He is passionate about helping students discover a love for music. We want to thank both of these amazing educators for cultivating a love for the arts in our students!
Look at all of the great things we have going on at Good Hope Middle School!
Mrs. McSpadden's science class had yet another week of hands-on learning! They completed a mixture lab this week!
Mrs. Spicer's 7th grade English class participated in a book club. They took advantage of the beautiful weather and did some reading outside!
Mrs. Adams, our librarian, and Mrs. Acosta paired up to work on poetry analysis in 6th grade English.
Mrs. Acosta also had her students practice presenting their narrative writing assignment.
Mrs. Hyatt's career prep students spent some time this week completing some online Brain Games with our school system career coach! These games are not only fun, they will also give students some insight on possible careers they might be interested in!
We are ready for another great week at Good Hope Middle School!
We had another fantastic week at GHMS!
- We brought out the yard games during break this week. It was so much fun to watch the students play games together!
- Speaking of games... we had volleyball and football games this week! If you have pictures from the football game, feel free to drop them in the comments!
- It's election season at GHMS! Our hallways are lined with such creative campaign posters!
- Our 6th grade students had so much fun completing an escape room challenge in Mrs. Acosta's English class this week!
- Mrs. McSpadden's 8th grade science class had a week of hands-on learning! They completed a particle motion lab. Mrs. McSpadden even made the test review fun!
- Our career prep class was all about leadership, teamwork, and trust this week. During a team building challenge, teams had to draw a word that Mrs. Hyatt had written on the board. There was a catch! They only had 1 marker for their group and 4 strings attached to the marker. They had to work together and communicate with each other to be able to draw the word that was shown on the board. The students really enjoyed doing this activity! They found that it was much more challenging than they expected!
- No school Monday! We will miss seeing everyone! Can't wait until Tuesday!
Tomorrow! Make plans to come to our blood drive! We will start at 9 a.m. Don't forget that the student of your choice will receive a free icee!
If your son played baseball last season, there will be an informational meeting on Tuesday at 6pm at the baseball field.
It was another fantastic week to be a Raider! These pictures are just a small glimpse into all of the great things we did this week.
In Mrs. Hyatt's class our 8th grade students spent the week learning about workplace safety (such as general safety guidelines and accident reporting). They got a chance to play a board game to learn and review different scenarios about workplace safety.
Mrs. McSpadden's science class spent time this week on a popsicle experiment! What a great way to learn science!
Mrs. Acosta's English class completed a creative writing assignment about nature. Mrs. Acosta decided it would be much more effective if her students could write about nature while immersed in nature!
Our seventh grade students had a wonderful time learning Spanish this week. As a class they had a Zoom call with a teacher from Colombia. She showed them various places around her country, including an active volcano! We can't wait for the next lesson!
We ended the week with some cross country victories! Our team represented us well! In the Girls 1600 Meter Sara Self placed 3rd, Maya Caudle placed 5th, and Veronica Horvath placed 6th. We are so proud of you all!
How about another incentive in addition to saving a life? If you donate blood at our blood drive on August 29, the student of your choice will receive a free icee! Come any time from 9-4. Don't forget that YOU get a $20 e-gift card for donating!
Come join us on August 29 for a blood drive! You can get a $20 e-gift card, support GHMS, and save a life all at the same time!
We sure packed a lot into our first full week at Good Hope Middle School! There were so many hands-on learning experiences this week! One example is the "Book Tasting" our 6th grade students participated in. The students acted as book critics and chose which book they would be the most interested in reading based on the cover and summary on the back of the book. While the students sampled books of different genres, Ms. Faulk served them some refreshing snow cones! This week Kay Bell and Kathy Wilson from Cullman Juvenile Probation, along with our very own Lt. Doug Duke, spoke to our students about appropriate and inappropriate cell phone use. It was astonishing to hear their stories. We also participated in a monthly advisory lesson along with all Cullman County Schools. This month students learned about the dangers of bullying and cyberbullying and what to do if they witness it. It sure was a great week to be a Raider!
We have a few extra copies of yearbooks from the 2023-2024 school year. If you missed out on ordering one, now is your chance to snag a copy! Send $40 to get your copy!
