Technology Advances<br />
By GMS Principal Pat Autry<br />
It’s hard to live in the world today and not notice how quickly technology is advancing. You’ve<br />
probably seen the commercial about the “new” television set that is outdated before it’s delivered!<br />
Whether dealing with “normal” budgets or the budget cuts of this summer, it has been hard for<br />
school districts to keep up.<br />
But we had a few exciting things happen this summer at GMS that have us MORE than just<br />
keeping up!<br />
First, wireless internet was added to our building. This is a huge step and makes other<br />
improvements easier. I’d like to offer a big thank you to Mr. Worthy for supporting our request<br />
for wireless and to Shelli Neely, Zach Allen, and Marilyn Davis for making it happen.<br />
Second, you’ve probably heard about our new policy regarding students bringing and using<br />
their own technology devices. This is an exciting new development at <strong>Gunter</strong> Middle School. It’s<br />
exciting for me to visit classes where students are in groups working on phones or tablets they’ve<br />
brought from home. Again, the wireless internet had to happen before this was possible.<br />
Third, we were fortunate to receive two new COWs, or Computers on Wheels. <strong>The</strong>se portable laptops are reserved by<br />
teachers for student use in the classroom. You should see the calendar! <strong>The</strong>y are used every day – some days by more<br />
than one class.<br />
So when you talk to your student about school, I hope you hear that technology is a part of their day at GMS. More and<br />
more, it’s a part of everyone’s day in both their job and personal life. We think school should look like life and are excited<br />
to have these advances in technology available for our teachers and students.<br />
Here’s one last thought on the subject: Parents, please be sure you are involved in your child’s use of technology.<br />
Monitor their internet use, limit their game play and texting. Know where their computers and cell phones are after<br />
9 pm. Just sayin’!<br />
Thanks for partnering with us to educate the great students we have at GMS. Thanks for volunteering your time and<br />
talents. If we can help you in any way, please let us know!<br />
G<strong>ISD</strong> app is here!<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Gunter</strong> <strong>ISD</strong> app is available in the iTunes store and<br />
the Android Market. It is a free app that will provide information<br />
right to you in an instant. If you have not downloaded it<br />
yet, be sure to get it.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re is one very important thing you should know about<br />
the app. Many of the pages you see are actually pages from<br />
our website. Your phone will "remember" how a page looked<br />
when it loaded, and to load it faster, it will load that image of<br />
the page. If you want your app to give you the most "up to<br />
date" information, you will need to make sure it is a fresh<br />
load.<br />
If you see the blue GT at the beginning of the loading<br />
process, you will have the most up to date info. If you do not<br />
see the blue GT, you are probably loading a cached image.<br />
In order to refresh the app, you must stop the app and<br />
restart it.<br />
On iPhones, you double click the home button and press<br />
and hold the GT app at the bottom. When you see the red<br />
minus button on the apps across the bottom of your screen,<br />
press the minus sign to close the app. Press your home<br />
button again, and then start the app like you normally do.

Mix it up - Make new friends<br />
<strong>Gunter</strong> Middle School was one of the more than 2,100 schools<br />
participating nationally in “Mix It Up-At Lunch Day” on<br />
October 18.<br />
Mix It Up-At Lunch Day is a national campaign launched by<br />
Teaching Tolerance that encourages students to identify,<br />
question and cross social boundaries.<br />
“...<strong>The</strong> simple space of a cafeteria table is, for many, a<br />
comfort zone where we can be ourselves with those who know<br />
us best. Touch base. Regroup. Let down the guard that classroom<br />
pressures often require of us. For others, the lunch room,<br />
with all its boundaries, is a world with its own pressures, a<br />
world of familiar strangers and rigid expectations.”<br />
(www.tolerance.org/teens/howto.jsp)<br />
On our first annual Mix It Up-At Lunch Day, the students<br />
were given a numbered ticket and then directed to sit at the<br />
corresponding table. To encourage conversation, entertaining<br />
questions were laid out for the students to discuss. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
questions included: "If you were an animal, what would you<br />
be?" and "If you won a million dollars, what would you do with<br />
it?"<br />
When the plans for the Mix It Up activity were first<br />
announced, students were skeptical, but most seemed to have<br />
fun participating in the activity. Many students and teachers<br />
requested having a Mix It Up activity more than once a year.<br />
Our hope is that by participating in activities such as Mix It<br />
Up- At Lunch Day, students will begin to break down social<br />
barriers and improve intergroup relations so there are fewer<br />
misunderstandings that can lead to conflict, bullying, and<br />
harassment.

Leaves are changing, temperature is dropping, and we are<br />
gearing up for our third virtue! And what better month than the<br />
month of Thanksgiving to talk about the virtue of Gratitude –<br />
letting others know you see how they’ve helped you.<br />
We are learning about the value of GRATITUDE this month –<br />
letting others know you see how they’ve helped you! Leave<br />
others notes this month. Thank them for ways they have helped<br />
you at home! Discuss together someone who has made life easier<br />
for your family. Write them a JUMBO thank you card to express<br />
your GRATITUDE! We overflow with GRATITUDE when we<br />
think of your family.<br />
Enjoy celebrating all that brings GRATITUDE!<br />

Friday Nights with Coach Fieszel<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Gunter</strong> <strong>Tiger</strong>s are now undefeated in district and poised for a showdown in <strong>Gunter</strong><br />
with the Whitewright <strong>Tiger</strong>s.<br />
Whitewright is coached by Jack Wylie, who is in his first year as head coach after<br />
serving as defensive coordinator there for the last few years. Whitewright is as athletic<br />
as any team we have faced this year. <strong>The</strong>y are led by their Junior quarterback Tyrone<br />
Swoopes. He is a phenomenal talent, who will be playing anywhere he wants at the<br />
collegiate level.<br />
Whitewright also has another Division I Prospect, TE Gerron Ballard. Ballard plays on<br />
both sides of the ball, and will be a challenge for us to both block and cover.<br />
We are excited about the opportunity to play for an outright district championship and<br />
are looking forward to a physical, hard hitting game.<br />
We are thankful for all of the community support we have received this football season.<br />
Please come out and cheer on these young men as they pursue another district<br />
championship for <strong>Gunter</strong>.<br />
