Celebrations
I wanted to say thank you and good job on the awards assembly. I enjoyed seeing the little games with the students that got terrific kid awards. Neat for them to have something special.
All students were well behaved the whole time, great to see.
There was such a positive atmosphere and the high school students being there was fun too, good for younger students to see good role models.
Great job! Enjoy your weekend.
Star Staff for the Week- be sure to use your Reserved Space for Parking!
Shelby Campbell for being an amazing teammate and para in our building. She stepped up today to help cover in the cafe and recess duties with a smile!
Gabe Burris has been flexible and very understanding when we have pulled him several times to cover a classroom that does not have a sub. This is always done with a positive attitude as well in his classroom approach with his students and their learning.
Thank you both for being amazing teammates to work with at GBE!!
