Gower Middle parents — if your child is missing a jacket, water bottle, or anything else this spring, it may be sitting in our lost and found. We'll hold all unclaimed items through the end of June.

After that, everything will be donated. Stop by soon so nothing goes to waste.

A reminder for Gower Middle families — school supply orders for the 2026–2027 school year are open now. Summer tends to go quickly, and ordering early means one less thing to think about when August arrives. Visit 1stdayschoolsupplies.com/gs/32323 to place your order.

Every May we take a moment to honor the educators who have dedicated their careers to the children of Gower, and this year we have five incredible people to celebrate.

Ms. Cheryl Wander, Ms. Lisa Hoffman, Ms. Margie Kielty, Ms. Tammy Lange, and Ms. Rebecca Laratta, the fingerprints of your work are all over this community. In the students who grew under your care, the families you supported, and the colleagues whose lives you made better simply by showing up alongside them.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. We wish you all the best in this well-deserved next chapter.

There is something truly special about watching former students walk back through our doors.

This week we welcomed our Gower Seniors — students now finishing their senior year of high school — back to Gower Middle for a visit on the eve of their graduation. It is a tradition we treasure deeply, and one that speaks to the lasting bonds formed here. We are so proud of the young adults you have become.

Go make your mark on the world, and know that Gower will always be cheering you on.
