“We cannot share enough what it means to have such great people in our community that care about our students. Thank you Lisa Paul for making and donating masks to our middle school cheerleaders!! I also want to thank a couple of our cheer parents, Tamara Ellison and Crala Pringle, for your donation of masks. GMS cheerleaders have two uniforms this year and will also now have two masks to change out through the season. (Red masks are from Lisa Paul and gray from our cheer moms Crala and Tamara) The GMS mascot was definitely digging his mask! Contributed photo.
