A heartfelt thank you to Superintendent Jeffrey White, Principals Dr. Cogliano and Mrs. Barbara Quinn, all of our staff, students, and families who came out to celebrate Peace Day on Tuesday September 22nd!
It was wonderful to see our school community come together to celebrate peace, kindness, compassion, and unity. From our youngest students to our high schoolers, everyone played a part in making today meaningful and memorable.
Mrs. Foligno led us in the celebration as students shared their thoughts and ideas about what peace means to them.
Superintendent White also shared what peace looks like in our schools and how we can all help create a kind, welcoming, and peaceful community. It was a wonderful morning filled with thoughtful reflections and an important reminder that peace starts with each of us.
Thank you again to everyone who helped make this special celebration possible and to our students for sharing their voices and spreading a message of peace throughout our community.
💙 Peace begins with each of us.
Our Guidance Department will be hosting mini college fairs throughout the fall for students in grades 10th-12th. Tomorrow is the first, with visits from Ramapo College, St. Thomas Aquinas College, and Dominican University.
The colleges will be in the GFB Library throughout both Advisory periods.
Classes will resume tomorrow, Tuesday, September 22, when our schools will observe International Day of Peace — a great opportunity for our students and staff to focus on harmony and community. 📚🕊️.

All GGM and GFB students will be taking part in this important event that encourages students to celebrate differences, resolve conflicts peacefully, and build a school community where everyone feels safe and valued.
Parking will be available in the lower lots.
Principal Barbara Quinn kicked off the school year with an exciting assembly to get our GFB students ready for a great year ahead! Students were challenged to choose one word that describes what they want their school community to look and feel like this year.
From kindness and respect to friendship and teamwork, our students shared meaningful words and ideas for creating a positive GFB community. We can’t wait to see these words come to life throughout the school year! ❤️🌪️
A big congratulations to Katie for being named our Athlete of the Week! 🎉 Katie has been showing incredible dedication, hard work, and determination on the Cross Country team. We are so proud of her commitment and the positive energy she brings to the team. Keep up the amazing work, Katie! Go Tornadoes! ❤️🌪️
We wrapped up our first week at GGM with a special school assembly! A big thank you to Dr. Cogliano for kicking off our school year and welcoming our Tornadoes back to school.
Thank you to Ms. Mui for reading Soar and reminding our students about embracing new challenges, believing in themselves, and reaching for their goals. 💙
And a special thank you to Twister, our Tornado mascot, for surprising our students and bringing plenty of laughs, smiles, and school spirit to our celebration! 🌪️😄
What a wonderful way to conclude our first week together. We’re ready to SOAR into a fantastic school year! 📚✨
⚛️🧬🔬GFB Middle and high school STEM students in Mrs. Foligno's STEM classes took on a Cup Stacking Team Building Challenge designed to put communication, collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership skills to the test!
Working together, students had to develop a strategy, communicate effectively, adapt when things didn’t go as planned, and rely on one another to complete the challenge. The goal wasn’t just to stack cups, it was to learn how successful teams persevere.
A fun way to kick off STEM while building the skills that engineers, designers, and leaders use every day! ⚙️📐💻

We wish our Tornadoes and their families a safe and happy Labor Day weekend! ❤️🌪️
Students then created their very own worry stones to keep as a reminder that it’s okay to have worries and that they can work through them together. 🪨💙
What a wonderful way for our Tornadoes to begin the year by sharing, connecting, and turning worries into confidence! 🌪️✨
