Gillette Road Mission Statement
As a member of Gillette Road Middle School, I promise to do my personal best, be an ideal role model, and actively participate in my school. Using my strengths to improve my weaknesses, I will approach each task with a positive attitude. When I experience challenges, I will work with members of my school community and family to be successful.
Parents:
Coats for Kids!
The Gillette Junior Optimist Club is again this year sponsoring a “Coats for Kids” collection. Families are asked to donate “gently used” outerwear items for children and young adults. Collection barrels will be located in the main lobby area of the school from November 3rd to December 5th. Please keep us in mind as you clear out those closets, and help us to keep kids warm this winter!
Hand to Hand, Heart to Heart
Let’s Stop Hunger At The Start!
The Gillette Road school community is working to help our neighbors in need by sponsoring a food drive to benefit our local food pantries. Many families in our area are challenged by today’s economy, so food pantries are facing an alarming increase in need this year. Anyone who would like to help is encouraged to donate non-perishable food items (pasta, soups, canned vegetables, tuna, peanut butter etc). No glass containers please. Collection barrels will be located in the main lobby from November 18th through December 5th. Please help us to make the holidays brighter for struggling families!
