GMS Teachers are looking cool for Casual for a Cause Day!

The School District of Indian River County has been notified that Gifford Middle School Buildings 400-800 and 1300 are under a Boil Water Notice (BWN) due to an underground line break. This BWN does not affect any other buildings on the campus. The cafeteria and gymnasium water are not impacted by the BWN. The Department of Health will conduct tests to determine when the BWN can be lifted. A follow up Press Release will be provided once the Department of Health lifts the BWN. Bottled water will be provided for students and staff in the affected areas.

Congratulations to all our Academic All-Stars!
