New in 2024, we have introduced a touching new tradition at the 8th grade award ceremony.
At the conclusion of the event, each 8th-grade Guardsman was presented with a rose. The students were encouraged to gift this rose to a family member, teacher, or friend who had significantly impacted their educational journey at GMS.
The gesture led to many heartfelt moments, with several teachers receiving beautiful bouquets of gratitude from their students.
This new tradition not only highlighted the strong community bonds at Grissom, but also celebrated the invaluable support and encouragement that students receive from those around them.
