Garlough Environmental Magnet School

Garlough Environmental Magnet School Garlough offers a rigorous environmental studies curriculum emphasizing science. At GEMS, environmental learning is at the core of everything we do.

Through nature-based experiences, we support and enhance children's intellectual, social, emotional and physical development. Students explore nature in Garlough Woods and at Dodge Nature Center as they gain a sense of wonder, respect, and care for the natural world. When interacting with the community through Facebook, the district seeks to maintain a safe, respectful and supportive environment.

To that end, the District has established the following guidelines: http://www.isd197.org/common/pages/DisplayFile.aspx?itemId=16101962

Thank you for an amazing performance, Garlough GEMS! The Rainbow Fish was a beautiful story of kindness, acceptance, and community, and we loved the music, costumes, and characters that brought it to life. 🌈✨
