Third Grade Music Performance
Under the direction of GDW Music Teachers, Miss Crater and Ms. Ritchie, our third grade students put on a fabulous music performance this evening entitled, "Road Trip U.S.A."! During the performance, Mrs. Frint's class dedicated a song to her since this was her final music performance before she retires at the end of this school year. What a special event!

GDW Choir Performs at Chicago Wolves Hockey Game
In honor of Veterans Day, the Gary D. Wright Elementary School Choir, directed by Miss Crater, performed a medley of patriotic songs at the Chicago Wolves Game. This was a wonderful opportunity for our Wildcats, and I would like to give thanks to Miss Crater, the Chicago Wolves, our GDW Choir and their families, and to all of those who served or are serving in the United States Military.

Oh, My! Our Principals Got Pied!
As an incentive for our Wildcat Learning Community raising approximately $36,000 in support of this year's PTO Walk-a-thon, our Wildcat students earned the opportunity to "pie" Principal Gravel and Assistant Principal Cappas during grade-level assemblies. During the assemblies, we shared in many laughs and used just as many cans of Reddi Whip in the process! We would like to thank everyone for their support of the Walk-a-thon! Thank you, GDW PTO, for assisting throughout the assemblies and for all that you do to support our school!
