Hello
GMAA
Family
and
welcome
to
a
brand-new
school
year!
I
am
so
happy
to
finally
be
here
in
person
and
see
all
of
you.
I
know
it
has
been
a
difficult
year
for
everyone,
but
God
has
been
good
and
has
protected
us
throughout.
It
has
been
amazing
welcoming
you
to
our
school
and
getting
to
know
all
the
new
students.
My
door
is
always
open
for
you.
If
you
need
to
talk,
I
am
here
to
listen.
We
are
a
family
here
at
GMAA.
We
learn
together,
pray
for
each
other,
respect
and
love
one
other,
and
most
importantly,
as
a
family,
we
grow
in
Christ.
Please
know
that
you
are
special
and
loved
by
God,
you
were
chosen
for
this
time
and
place.
God
has
a
plan
for
your
life,
even
if
you
don’t
know
it
yet.
Let
Him
lead,
put
your
life
in
His
hands,
and
watch
Him
do
wonders!
I
know
we
will
have
a
wonderful
year.
God bless all of you.

Bold
Beginnings
-
Why
is
it
that
new
challenges
scare
you?
Why
are
you
afraid
of
change?
One
reason
why
you
are
scared
of
challenges
and
change
is
because
you
don’t
know
what
is
going
to
lay
ahead
in
life.
Challenges
and
change
force
you
to
grow.
The
trial
you
go
through
is
frightening,
but
in
the
end
you
are
stronger
than
before
you
started
your
challenge
or
change.
The
good
news
about
challenges
and
change
is
that
you
know
you
are
not
alone
while
you
go
through
them.
God
is
with
you,
and
as
a
result
you
can
boldly
say “God is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me.” Hebrews 13:6

Seylanie Arrendell
Our
Middle
School
Spotlight
this
month
focuses
on
Seylanie
Arrendell,
an
8th
grader
here
at
GMAA.
Seylanie
has
been
attending
GMAA
since
2nd
grade
and,
compared
to
her
previous
school,
she
says
that
GMAA
has
a
family
dynamic
that
wasn’t
present
there.
What
she
enjoys
the
most,
she
says,
is
that
the
workload
here
is
much
more
manageable
than
at
her
previous
school.
However,
she
found
that
it
was
very
difficult
to
make
friends
when
she
first
arrived.
Her
favorite
classes
are
Mrs.
Ovalle’s
Social
Studies
class,
because
she
really
loves
learning
about
history,
and
Mr.
Ovalle’s
English
class
because
she
thinks
he
has
an
amazing
sense
of
humor
and
always
makes
class
fun.
She
likes
going
to
waterparks
with
her
friends
and
watching
movies from the Fast and Furious franchise as well as the Maze Runner films.
Seylanie’s
most
cherished
memory
at
GMAA
is
Spirit
Week,
during
which
she
enjoys
being
able
to
dress
up
and
play
games
with
her
friends.
She
has
a
younger
brother,
Jordany,
who
is
also
attends
GMAA
and
is
in
7th
grade.
She
attends
Westchester
Seventh-Day
Adventist
Church
and
is
a
member
of
their
Pathfinder
Club.
In
the
future,
she’d
like
to
see
a
club
at
school
that
discusses
current
world
events
and
is
active in the community.

What
have
you
learned
from
your
past
experiences
teaching?
I've
learned
that
teaching
is
not
linear.
We
must
adapt
our
teaching
strategies
to
accommodate
the
class
that
God
has
placed
in
our
hands.
That
includes
prayer,
learning
and
being
a
role

so
that
they
can see God through you.
Glad
to
have
you
here,
Mrs.
Ramirez!
Welcome

You're

Hello
everyone!
It’s
so
awesome
to
finally
be
back
in
person
together.
For
many
of
us,
covid
hit
hard
and
eventually
made
us
all
feel
anxious
and
ready
to
be
back
in
person.
As
the
school
year
begins,
we
are
all
learning
to
adapt
to
this
new
format
of
living
but
I
hope
you’re
all
excited
to
adjust
to
it!
If
you
are
new,
allow
yourself
to
feel
welcomed
in
our
school
and
never
feel
scared
to
reach
out
for
help,
as
many
teachers
are
willing
to
provide
it.
Finally,
learn
to
make
God
your
number
one
priority
this
school
year
because
He
will
do
the
same
for
you!
I
hope
you
all
have
the
best
school
year
ever
and
remember
to
focus
on
your grades, spend time with God, and live!
