Today for Arab American Heritage Month, we recognize a true pioneer in medicine: Dr. Michael DeBakey. The son of Lebanese immigrants, Dr. DeBakey was a world-renowned cardiovascular surgeon whose inventions transformed modern heart surgery. While still in medical school, he invented the roller pump, a device that made open-heart surgery possible by keeping blood flowing during operations. Over his 70-year career, he performed thousands of surgeries and even served as a medical advisor to several U.S. Presidents. His life of service and innovation is a brilliant example of the lasting impact Arab Americans have on our health and safety 

Hey Tigers! As summer is around the corner, a new donation event called Sunny Days Drive is happening at our school! Have any new or gently used items like beach towels, flip flops, swimsuits for kids through teens, or any other swim related items? Then you should think about donating! You can drop off donations at Gorzycki Middle School during school hours, from April 8th to April 28th. The collection boxes will be set up outside of the  front office, and to the right of the main staircase in the commons. These items will go towards less fortunate kids who don't have easy access to swim items this summer.
