GMSG Predictions From the Editor

Elizabeth Valeriano ('23) predicts what the GMSG will look like in the next few years.

After four enjoyably long years at the GMSG, it’s almost time for me to say goodbye. I can sense that the school will be making changes, so here are my predictions for what will happen when I’m gone:

Beis Yaakov Uniform:

I think at this point, the GMSG will obviously incorporate a new uniform. I mean, the dress code has been a hot topic for all of the years that I’ve been here, so why not start having a cute Beis Yaakov style fit for all of the girls to wear? Collared shirts and maxi skirts are so in right now! Why else would a few of us have gone to a Beis Yaakov shabbaton a couple months back? To get inspo of course! Pull out your cute button down shirts and pleated skirts because #kneesareanono and knee socks will be your best friend in the next few years!

Zip line to Main Building

It’s such a shlep to walk all the way over to the main building to get lunch, and the admins have heard our complaints for years. So, I predict that they’ll install a zip line that starts at the GMSG entrance and ends at the main building right by the gym. The walk to the gym is way too treacherous, especially in the rain, so a zip line will add some pizzaz to everyone’s day, as well as make the trip quick. Obviously, something as high tech as teleportation would never be an option, so the only logical choice is a zip line.

Starbucks Attached to GMSG

I think the most beneficial thing that this school can invest in is building on to the GMSG. No, not to add a few extra classrooms, but to attach a Starbucks to the school. Think about it, this will benefit the students as well as all of the teachers. The girls will no longer be late to class because they got stuck at the massive line at the nearest Starbucks, now they’ll just be late to class because they’re hanging out in the lounge. The admins will also love this new addition because it will be the perfect spot to gossip in between classes. All of these points lead me to believe that Starbies will obviously be the school’s next venture.

Dr. Kennon will get a new Arch-Nemesis

This might not be a widely known fact, but I’ve actually been deemed Dr. Kennon’s arch-nemesis the past few years. (I won’t lie, I kinda forgot about this myself since unfortunately, I'm not in any of her classes this year.) When I’m gone, someone will obviously have to take my place. Though I must warn you, this title is a huge honor, and I’ve heard that Dr. Kennon has started taking applications. Whoever takes on this role has some huge shoes to fill, so if you’re interested in the job, just pm me and I’ll give you some tips and tricks of the trade. It’s a lot of hard work, but it truly is an honor.
