Here is some information on just one of the awesome things happening in the 2023-24 school year at GBR!

Mrs. Grabenstein and Mrs. Leighton will be teaching a play-based kindergarten classroom and will be co-teaching for the 2023-2024 school year. They are both very excited and wanted to share some information about what their vision is for their classroom and students. Play-based learning helps with children's development of social and emotional skills. As children play together, they learn to get along with one another, cooperate, communicate effectively, problem-solve, and resolve conflicts. This kindergarten option will have the same academic rigor and high behavioral expectations as the other kindergarten classrooms. Attached is some information to learn more about what Mrs. G and Mrs. Leighton have planned. Please let them know if you have any questions.

Attention Parents/Guardians
Students in grades BK-4th should have brought home a Summer Reading Challenge form sometime during the last week of school. If they lost their form, you may write information on a separate paper. Please refer to the pictures so that you know what is all required. Have a great summer and keep reading:)
It's a busy, musical summer!
Check out all these opportunities!
The Summer Meals Program began today at Longfellow, Gertie Belle, Mitchell Middle School, and Mitchell High School. Please be aware there are still students present near these buildings and that the yellow school zone lights will still be on. Thanks for helping to keep our kids safe!
