Team Gattis Rocks It Once Again!!
What an incredible week of academics, parent/student feedback, community building, fundraising, field trips and..... everything else you do on a regular basis!! After all of that a whole crew of you still had the energy to rock out with The Wobble at our Friday morning assembly! We cannot say THANK YOU enough for all of your work for students and your support for our campus community. Family Literacy Night was exciting, fun-filled and productive. Our book fair was bustling with student and parent customers! McTeacher Night was great fun! We were all treated like celebrities as our Rock Star Spirit Team greeted us with cheers! Trunk or Treat had a record turnout and was filled with carbs, costumes and campfire songs for kids and adults!
Happy Birthday to YOU!
