MLG families, Saturday, November 7th, dine at OPS in Kingsland for our Spirit Day! Enjoy lunch from 11 AM - 4 PM, be sure to mention our school, and we will receive a portion of the proceeds. Can't wait to see all our Bulldogs there!

This week, we are celebrating the incredible school psychologists who make a difference in the lives of our students every single day. From support students' academic success to helping them navigate challenges, build confidence, and develop the skills they need to thrive, the impact of a school psychologist reaches far beyond the classroom.
Thank you for listening, encouraging, problem-solving, and always putting your students first, Ms. Whipple. We are so grateful to have you as a part of the Mamie Lou Gross team.

Our K-2 superstars had a blast with a special fall STEM & sensory project in Mrs. Agee's class! We took a plain pumpkin and used art supplies, textures, and craft materials from around our classroom to turn it into something completely different.
Can you guess what our pumpkin transformed into?

In honor of Veteran's Day, students are asked to wear red, white and blue on November 5th.

Proud to be MLG!

🚍 Bus Safety Reminder: Let’s Keep Our Students Safe! 🛑

As we observe National School Bus Safety Week, we want to remind everyone in our community to take a few extra moments to help protect our students as they travel to and from school each day.

The morning and afternoon commutes are some of the busiest times on our roads, and a little extra patience and attention go a long way!

🚗 For Drivers:
Stop for school buses when the stop arm is extended and red lights flash.
Obey all posted school zone speed limits.
Never pass a stopped school bus from either direction when required by law.
Stay alert for students near roadways, bus stops, and crosswalks.

🎒 For Parents & Students:
Arrive at the bus stop a few minutes early and wait a safe distance from the road.
Cross only when instructed by the driver, and always look left, right, and left again.
Use designated crosswalks and never cross behind a school bus.
Put phones and headphones away while walking to stay aware of surroundings.

Thank you for doing your part to ensure every student arrives safely and returns home with a smile!

📱💻 Digital Safety & Awareness Check-In!

Keeping our students safe starts with staying informed and maintaining open communication! We encourage parents and guardians to regularly check in with their children about:

📧 School Email: Review school communications to stay informed about important updates and announcements.

🌐 Social Media: Stay aware of the platforms your child uses, the content they encounter, and emerging online trends and challenges that may encourage unsafe behaviors.

⚕️ Medication Safety: Keep prescription and over-the-counter medications securely stored and remind children of the dangers of experimenting with medications.

🗣️ Open Communication: Encourage conversations about online safety, peer pressure, and making responsible decisions. Remind children they can always turn to a trusted adult with questions or concerns.

🛡️ Stay Informed with Parent ProTech!

Camden County Schools provides families with access to Parent ProTech, a valuable resource offering information about social media platforms, online trends, digital safety concerns, and tools to help parents navigate their children’s digital world.

We encourage families to explore Parent ProTech regularly to stay informed and help their children make safe, responsible choices. Sign up here: https://app.parentprotech.com/929/camden-county/en/signup

Together, we can keep our students informed, protected, and empowered in the digital world.

Mrs. Walker’s 5th Grade ELA students celebrated the 50th Day of School with a little learning, laughter, and a whole lot of 1950s fun!
Students put their skills to the test with a variety of 50-second challenges! From jumping jacks and blowing bubbles to creating rhyming word pairs and building words with suffixes, students raced against the clock to see just how much they could accomplish in 50 seconds while listening to music from the 50s era!
We also took a trip back in time to the 1950s! Students worked collaboratively to read informational texts about popular topics from the decade while identifying the text structures authors used to organize information.
Of course, no 1950s celebration would be complete without learning the Hand Jive! And to make the day even sweeter, students enjoyed a classic root beer float after lunch!
50 days of learning, growing, and making memories! What a fun way to celebrate how far we've come in just 50 days!

🚌 It's School Bus Driver Appreciation Day!

Every third Monday in October, Georgia celebrates these amazing drivers who safely transport our most precious cargo. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and hard work.

Thank you to all the wonderful bus drivers who help make each school day possible in Camden County!🩵
