Suzanne Dix, the Gorham Middle School Librarian has announced several upcoming events in early May for the students.

On May 1, Rodman Philbrick, the author of “Freak the Mighty” and several other young adult novels, is visiting and speaking to our entire student body. Rod currently splits his time between the states of Maine and Florida.

On May 8, Lisa Fipps, author of the middle grade book, “Starfish,” will visit with our sixth and seventh graders.

In addition, Great Falls fourth and fifth graders have been invited to attend. Also, May 14 is STEAM night at GMS! This is the second annual event and they are expecting 300 to 400 people to move throughout GMS to discover different ways that the sciences impact our lives. Food trucks, live music and prizes will be available. The theme this year is Superheroes. Parents and families are invited to attend this evening’s events.
