Latin isn't all our students learn in Latin class. They get a healthy dose of Greek language instruction, too! Shout-out to 23-year veteran teacher Kimberly White for continuing to light up these brains! #lukersforlife

We were so pleased to welcome author Michelle Icard to Memphis and GSL today. The author of Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen and other parenting books, Michelle shared wonderful presentations today with lots of real-life anecdotes and relatable, helpful advice on how to keep the communication lines open as children move into adolescence. We learned a lot about what we can do as parents (and faculty members) to help guide children through middle school, to set them on pathways to success and resilience in high school, college, and beyond!

English Teacher Sarah Hunter Simanson and many of our sixth graders gathered @novelmemphis this weekend for the chance to meet bestselling author James Ponti (pictured at back). Ponti is the author of several middle grade book series, including the popular City Spies. Students heard him speak and were able to get books signed. Exciting opportunity for these enthusiastic readers! #GSLClassof2027

Reminder: Michelle Icard, author of Fourteen Talks by Age Fourteen, speaks at GSL tomorrow, Wednesday, March 26. Her presentation will be ideal for 3rd-8th grade parents - see email we sent March 5 for RSVP links!

Congratulations again to the newest members of GSL's Thespian Society, who were inducted into our chapter last week! After the ceremony these honorees took a field trip to the @scheidtcenter where they enjoyed a backstage tour and stage combat workshop. Way to go, Saints!

Watching new construction work is so interesting - we're as excited as the kids! ?? We appreciate @grindertaber for starting our week off with so much fun. GSL Families: see email sent this afternoon for important reminders about carpool drop-off and pick-up as work is underway. Go, Saints!

We loved catching up with these folks at our 21+ get-together last night - GSL Alumni are THE BEST! Many thanks to GSL parent Tyson Bridge, co-owner of Earnestine & Hazel’s, for hosting our event! Go, Saints! ?????

What a beautiful induction ceremony today! Congratulations to the newest members of our Thespian Society (International Thespian Society Junior Thespians?#88798).

GSL alumna Adele Fish '11 is the writer and director of The Cold Fusion Play, a devised piece that explores polarized discourse through the erroneous discovery of cold fusion. The plot takes place on election night, when a group of theatre students rehearse scenes from a play called The Cold Fusion Fiasco (a play written earlier by Fish). The project intentionally leaves unwritten space in its formatting to encourage the cast’s customization of the devised piece with their own personal strengths and unique perspectives. Fish collaborated on the play with Middle School Performing Arts Teacher Leslie Reddick, and Simone Guyton ’21 is serving as stage manager. The production is scheduled to be on stage April 4, 5, & 6 at Voices of the South Theater, which is in the basement of First Congregational Church on Cooper Street. Congratulations, Adele!

Building hot air balloons is a longtime GSL tradition and important science partnership project for our 5th and 8th grade students. Getting excited for launch day next week @overtonpark! #gslstemlearning #lukersforlife ??
