A Principal's Perspective
I love it when a student says that they want to cancel summer because they want to go to school! Out of the mouths of babes to indicate the results of pouring into our students each day. Thank you for all that you did this year to make it a successful one for our students! Happy Summer!!! Enjoy your well deserved summer break!
Be innovative - Design the possibilities!

Stephanie Bell:
Colt, her son, and her husband, Ryan, won the Parent/Jr Golf Tournament at Pebble Creek Country Club on Sunday. This tournament is based on a point system and the better you shoot the farther back you more and the more points you get. So this ins't like normal golf where the lowest score wins. See picture below.
Staff Shout Out from a GP Staff Member: Just wanted to send a quick note and let you know how amazing Michelle Prukop is. Every single time kindergarten has any special events she is always there to lend a hand for the grade level. Even when she didn’t have a personal child in the grade level, she was still there for every event offering her support in any way. She works with kids, she supports the teachers and always wears a smile to let us now that she is there to help and serve in any capacity. Feeling extremely blessed to work with such stellar people!!!
