Navajo Pine Mid and High finally got to have our pep rally after being rescheduled twice, and it was worth the wait! Huge shoutout to the seniors from Navajo Middle School and Navajo Pine High School for hosting the Tattoo a Teacher fundraiser. The energy, laughter, and school spirit were amazing, and it was so fun to see everyone come together to support a great cause.
Thank you to the teachers who were such good sports and to the students and families who showed up and made the day special. Moments like these remind us how strong and supportive our school community truly is.

House Bill 253 is being heard 02/09 at 8:30 AM, and your voice matters.

If this bill passes it will cause a $47 million dollar shortfall for GMCS this year - but there is still time to stop this legislation from moving forward. We are asking our community to please call and email members of the House Education Committee and our local legislators and urge them to vote NO on HB 253.

Please know this: GMCS is doing everything within its power to avoid any negative consequences to our students, staff, and community. We are actively advocating, working with legislators, and fighting to protect the funding our students depend on. A few minutes of your time telling our legislators to vote NO on House Bill 253 will make a real difference. Thank you for standing with our students and schools.

We are asking our community to please call and email members of the House of Education Committee and our local legislatures and urge them to vote NO to HB 253.
