Help support our GEMS Experiences! We are accepting bags of used clothes you are looking to donate and get rid of. These clothes will be sold to Savers thrift shop and all proceeds will go towards creating additional funds for our GEMS Experiences. The more clothes we get, the less students and families have to pay for these experiences! Please drop off your donations in the lobby and make sure to bring them in plastic garbage bags. For more information please see Mr. Giliberto.

Couple photos from last Friday's Pink Out at the Global Experience Magnet School. As a reminder, students can participate in our Breast Cancer Awareness Dress Down every Friday throughout the month of October for only $1.00. All money raised will be donated to support Breast Cancer research.
A group of Global Experience Magnet School students recently won 1st place in a business competition, hosted by SuitUP, a non-profit organization that offers students the opportunity to see what it’s like to work in a a corporate environment.
For this competition, students Caden Jolly, Ayla Green and Daylin McKim traveled to New York City to work at the corporate offices of Kearney, a global management consulting firm.
The students pitched to the judges of Kearney employees their idea of “Swish Juice”, a vending machine that allows customers to mix and match juices to make unique flavors.
GEMS plans to continue its relationship with SuitUp and provide more students with opportunities to experience the corporate world and engage in business-related competitions.
Tomorrow students can participate in our Breast Cancer Awareness Dress Down! Donate just $1.00 and join us in supporting Breast Cancer research. Don't forget to wear your pink attire if you can! We will be doing this every Friday throughout the month of October!
