Glade Spring Middle School

Today, all 6th grade students at GSMS watched an interview with Jeff Kinney, author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. Students were able to take of tour of Mr. Kinney’s studio, learn about his writing process, and hear an excerpt of his newest book, Party Pooper. Students also participated in a Wimpy Kid Trivia Challenge and learned about book illustrations. Students will have the opportunity to purchase books from Mr. Kinney and their other favorite authors at the GSMS Scholastic Book Fair, October 27-31. (Pictures to come in a few)

☀️Check out this beautiful sunrise from Glade Spring Middle School to start our Friday! Here's to wrapping up the week with positivity, hard work, and a little extra sunshine.

Students in Mrs. Cannon’s Science 8 class made Super Heroes based on an element from the Periodic Table. Each student presented his/her superhero with a detailed presentation that explained the element, properties and uses of the element.

Members of the 8th grade Agriculture Exploration class made Mrs. Burke a gift today. Students used  lathe to turn a pen. This is a project that all of Mrs. Rhudy’s 8th grade students get to complete during the agricultural mechanics rotation.

These "Remarkable Rebels" were celebrated for being great friends, leaders in the classroom, and lending a helping hand. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

🕹️💿 The Glade Spring Middle School office staff threw it back to the totally rad 1990s for Homecoming Week! From scrunchies to flannel, they rocked the retro vibes in true Glade Spring style.

Glade Spring Middle School’s theme for the 2025-2026 school year is Let the Adventure Begin. GSMS selected The Call of the Wild as its All School Reads book this year. Students in multi-grade reading groups completed the book and then were able to attend the play of The Call of the Wild at the Barter Theater. Our adventure has definitely begun at GSMS already this year!

📵✨ Glade Spring Middle School hit the pause button on screens for a full “No Technology Day!”

Students and teachers traded devices for hands-on learning and face-to-face collaboration. From math manipulatives to “book biting” in English, and even scavenger hunts that tested teamwork and problem-solving skills, the day was packed with creativity and connection.

Sometimes the best kind of learning happens when we unplug to plug in with each other!

WCPS is excited to announce the kick off for the Parent Resouce Center. Come out to the EO Building in Abingdon to explore the resources available to families! Also check out the online presence @WashingtonCountySchoolsParentResourceCenter

🎂✨ At Glade Spring Middle, our EmpowerEd students found a sweet way to celebrate and learn at the same time!
They baked a birthday cake for one of their classmates — practicing math skills, measurement, and following directions along the way. 🎉

🚀🥚 At Glade Spring Middle School, Ms. Stevens’s 6th grade Exploring Technology students put their engineering skills to the test!
They designed 3D-printed containers and padded them with recycled materials to see if they could protect an egg during a rooftop drop experiment.
Let’s just say the eggs didn’t quite make it this round… but the students had a cracking good time learning about design, problem-solving, and testing ideas!

Lauren K. and Kylee H. work hard every day to make sure our country and state flags are flying proudly over GsMS.

Here is a picture of last week’s and this week’s Remarkable Rebels: These student were recognized by a teacher or staff member for going above and beyond to make GSMS a great place to learn and grow.

After starting the morning at Meadowview Elementary, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares and special guests continued their visit at Glade Spring Middle School!

There, they met with students to share the importance of the National Child Identification Program I.D. Kit — a tool designed to help families keep their children safe.

We are grateful to AG Miyares, Former Governor George Allen, Delegate Israel O’Quinn, the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, and our community partners for taking the time to empower and educate our students.

Together, we’re working to keep kids safe both online and in our community.

Students in Ms. Cannon’s Science class are using a triple beam balance to measure mass.

At this time, all GSMS football games will now have a kickoff time of 6:00PM.

“Congratulations to Hunter G., Noah P., and Ryder G. for being recognized as Remarkable Rebels! These students have gone above and beyond in showing leadership, responsibility, and a positive attitude. We are proud to celebrate their hard work and character!”

Last week, Mrs. Beaird’s 6th grade students stepped into the role of candy shop designers! 🍭 Using Roald Dahl’s The Bicycle and the Sweet Shop as their guide, they applied creativity and critical thinking to craft menus, packaging, and advertising displays that blended literature with real-world skills. 📖🎨 #ELAclass #FutureInnovators”
