Welcome to GAMS Newcomers Group
The
guidance counselor at the Greencastle-Antrim Middle School will be running a “Newcomers Group,”
for all students that are new to the district in grades 6-8 this year.
The
group is formed to support the students during what can be a very difficult
time. The students are given time to ask questions and receive information that
is important for their success, it also gives the students a feeling of
belonging. Research shows that when students feel like they belong, their
chance of success is much higher.
- We
will meet every Wednesday for the first four weeks of school.
- Our
third meeting will be a field trip exploring the wonderful historical sites
around Greencastle. It will end with a stop at Mike’s Ice Cream for free Ice
Cream! The trip is sponsored by Marty Boscolo, owner of Mike’s Ice Cream.
- We
end with a “pizza party,” on the 4th meeting.
- The
guidance counselor will continue to run the group throughout the remainder of
the year on a less frequent basis.
