2nd grade field trip to the Whaleback Shell Middens
1st grade prepped the picnic tables to be painted and then we decided as a team to start the painting process to show the 5th graders how it’s done! They were awesome GSB community Members. Ms. Erin is so proud!
In math, Mrs. Michaud’s students are measuring items in the classroom (including their friends) with popsicle sticks. First they estimate how many popsicle sticks long they think the item will be. Then they measure with the popsicle sticks and record their answer.
The GSB halls are always so welcoming with the teachers greeting the students each morning!

Dear Middle School families,
Hearty Roots is thrilled to partner with GSB to offer an 8 week long outing club right on site after the school day, open to all 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.
Our programming is unique, it’s intentionally small scale with high caliber staff, and based on primitive skills and emotional wellness. It’s also sure to be tons of outdoor fun this fall!
We operate on a sliding fee scale so that all families can have access to our offerings. Find your school on the website link shared below. Please select a ‘code’ from the list of options that suits your family’s budget most comfortably, and enter that in before proceeding to payment.
Learn more and sign your child up right on our website: https://www.heartyroots.org/outing-clubs
4th Graders in the gaga pit!
