Ask your kids about our awesome BMX assembly today! The riders even jumped over five staff members, such a fun and unforgettable experience. We also loved the powerful message about staying healthy and choosing kindness. Each student also received their own tiny bike and reflector stickers for helmets and more! So. Much. Fun.

Mrs. Girt’s 4th graders teamed up with Ms. Slocom’s preschoolers for a scavenger hunt all about shapes, colors, and more. It was so cool to see the older students guiding and encouraging their little buddies! Such a great example of learning, leadership, and teamwork!

Let’s get our read on!

📚✨ Our readers are on a roll! ✨📚

GAPS students are closing in on an incredible 500,000 minutes of reading logged through Beanstack. It’s been inspiring to see students across the district building strong reading habits and showing up day after day with books in hand.

A special shout-out to North Albany Elementary, Memorial Middle School, and South Shore Elementary for their strong participation and commitment to reading. Your enthusiasm is helping move the entire district forward.

Let’s keep the pages turning as we head into March for Read Across America!
