GEMS has been an awesome experience…not only for me but im sure for my peers as well. it has made such a difference in how i look at things and how the girls in my grade treat each other. im so glad that mrs meek and mrs ball have decided to keep this program going for the eighth grade! thanks so much mrs ball & meek!! i think the most important thing ive learned in GEMS is that everything happens for a reason but GEMS has helped us make better choices so the outcomes are more enjoyable for us.

Hey everyone. Well, what is there to say about GEMS? GEMS has been the most influential experience so far during my 10 years at St. Gregs. I will be sorry to say goodbye! I think that the way Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Meek reach out to us girls is amazing. The activities promote friendship and teamwork, and I can’t speak for everyone else, but for me, I have really learned so much in the past three years. I have learned to see things from a different point of view, to take all this aggression seriously, and just common kindness toward all of my peers. Thank you, Mrs. Ball and Mrs. Meek!

Cheslea, it is so gratifying to hear that GEMS has made a difference in your life. It is because of you and the other girls that GEMS succeeds. You will continue to make us proud after you graduate.
Megan, you are not completely done! Remember our retreat in May! See you there.
Mrs. Hanus, Bridget, Anna, Monica and Catherine - thank you for your support!!

Grade 6 GEMS - Thanks for your comments, Catherine and Jenna. It is great to hear that you found GEMS to be so helpful. You put a lot into your sessions; that is why you got so much out of them. There is more to come next year, and the retreat will be awesome!
