Messages from the Principal

Grades 5 and 6
  Principal  - Mr. Ed LoPresti
  Asst. Principal -Mrs. Wendy Gentile
As we enter the second semester at GFMS, it is a great time for students and families to step back and reflect on the progress we have made.  I encourage students, with the help of their families, to honestly assess their effort, their motivation, and their achievement this year.  There is plenty of time to make this school year the most successful one yet.   Mr. E. LoPresti
