Shout Outs

Ms. Brady Boyd on her recognition as the March Teacher of the Month by the Germantown Education Commission! Below is the city announcement. We are so proud!


The March Teacher of the Month was awarded to Ms. Brady Boyd, a fourth-grade math and science teacher at Dogwood Elementary School. Ms. Boyd is praised by the parents of her students for her ability to rise to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and create a positive and safe environment for her students. 


Her enthusiasm for new skills and projects is infectious and inspires her students to get involved and to do their best. She is a pro at meeting students where they are and helping them to find the learning style that best fits. Parents also noted that their students regularly come home excited to share the fun ways they have learned a new skill. Ms. Boyd is also committed to building self-esteem in her students. One way she has accomplished this is by assisting in the Dogwood School talent show. Her coaching and guidance helped boost confidence among student participants.


All of our Dolphins who participated in the cast and crew of Falcon Footlights: Taste of Broadway production: Garland White, Caroline Alley, Ansley Pardue, Hadley Barnett, Sami Huda, John Remsen, Giuliana Viotti, Ansley Gamble, Claire Midha, Samhita Abhyankar, Carson Boccher, Nora Grace Hickey, Gracie McGaughey, Eva Singhal, and Molly Slocum.

GMSD Stampede 2021

Registration is now open for the 2021 GMSD Virtual 5K and 1 Mile. While we had planned and hoped to have a live 2021 GMSD 5k Stampede and 1 Mile Color Run, it's not in the cards for us again this year. However, we are excited to take our event virtual. Here is how it works....

  1. The cost of registration is $25. Students who register early will receive a prize too! There will be no refunds.
  2. When you register, please choose what school you are supporting, and what homeroom teacher your child has. Prizes will be awarded for the most participants at each school and to the classrooms with the most participants too! Parents, grandparents, and friends are counted in this total as long as they put a school and a teacher on their registrations!
  3. We will continue to take registrations up until race day. However, if you register after April 7, your t-shirt size will not be guaranteed.
  4. All 5k runners will be able to submit their virtual time, along with a photo/screen shot of your tracking device to gmsd5kstampede.raceroster.com
  5. T-shirts will be delivered to each participating school on April 14 and 15. For the people registered that are not associated with a school, t-shirt pick-up will be at the Germantown Athletic Club on April 14 and 15 between the hours of 4-7 pm.
  6. Maps of 5K and 1 mile routes will be distributed through school websites, PTO websites, the GEF website, and the Raceroster website. Runners/walkers can choose their own date, time, and route. Times and pictures may be submitted at any time from Friday, April 16 until Sunday, April 18 through the RaceRoster website. Also, QR Codes will be placed at each school or near each route so participants can “check in”.
  7. Please take photos and post to social media with the hashtag #GMSDstampede. Prizes will be awarded to runners with the fastest times!
