Congratulations to Lorena Trejo, CMC Rifle's Adjunct Faculty of the Year!

Stepping into a beginning level ESL course can be intimidating, but Lorena’s expert approach to language acquisition creates a classroom where students feel instantly confident, supported, and at home.

From designing interactive group activities to leveraging her deep connections with our local schools and community, Lorena is the definition of a consummate professional. Our students and staff are so lucky to learn from her kindness every single day.

As we wrap up another amazing year at GME, we also say goodbye to 6 incredible staff members who have left a lasting mark on our school family. 💙💛

Three are heading on to new adventures, and three are OFFICIALLY retiring! Be sure to give a honk, wave, cheer, hug, or high five to these amazing people who deserve to be celebrated.

Mrs. Linda has truly been the heart of GME. Her morning hugs and smiling face could turn around a student’s or staff member’s entire day.

Mrs. Johnson has worn so many hats throughout her years at GME… classroom teacher, coach, music teacher, leader, and so much more. We will definitely miss her daily jokes and cheerful voice on the morning announcements!

And Mrs. Krebill… after 37 years of teaching and making an impact on countless students, families, and coworkers, she is retiring after spending all 37 years with Garfield RE-2. What an incredible legacy she leaves behind.

We also want to give another very special thank you to a family we have been so lucky to have at GME. As their children head off to middle school, we want to celebrate and thank them for the endless hours they have volunteered and poured into our school. From events, programs, PTO support, WATCH D.O.G.S., and countless acts of kindness behind the scenes, their impact on GME will be felt for years to come.

The best part of our GME family is we are never far from home.

The 5th graders played their very last dodgeball game today at Graham Mesa Elementary… and there were LOTS of laughs, competition, and memories made.
It’s hard to believe tomorrow is already the last day of school! We are so proud of our 5th graders and all they’ve accomplished during their time at GME.

🎓 5th Grade Graduation begins RIGHT at 9:30 AM tomorrow morning.

⏰ Don’t forget!!!!! Tomorrow is also EARLY RELEASE at 12:40 PM.
Let’s finish the year strong, GME!

As our 5th graders get ready to head on to middle school, we held our annual Choices Day talk today. Community mentors came in to speak with students about making good choices and how those choices can affect their future long-term.

We also got to welcome back high school graduates as they visited their old elementary school, giving our students a special glimpse into the future and all that is ahead of them.

This is such a valuable and meaningful day for our students, and we are so thankful for the support from our community members and graduates who poured into our kids today. Thank you for helping guide and encourage the future of our students! 💙💛

Today was a big day for our preschoolers! 🎓

Our littlest Mountain Lions here at Graham Mesa Elementary School graduated today! Some of our sweet friends are off to kindergarten, and some are moving up to their final year of preschool. We are so proud of how much each child has learned, grown, and blossomed this year.

Congratulations to all of our preschool graduates! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you do next!

Huge congratulations to GME’s very own Mrs. McPherson! 🎉

Not only did she make the move to 2nd grade this year, but she also opened her own dance studio and tonight was their very first recital! 💃✨
Legendary!!! We love getting to show our students that you really can chase your dreams and make them happen with hard work and heart. ❤️ It was also so good to see SO many GME staff members in the audience supporting her and cheering on their own students tonight. That’s what makes our Rifle community and GME family so special!

We are so proud of you and all of the GME students who were part of tonight’s recital. ❤️
