First & Fifth Grade Music Performances

Before we headed into Spring Break, we enjoyed two evenings of musical performances.  Our First Graders performed "Circus Circus" and our Fifth Graders performed "Time Travel Test".  Both shows were incredible and showcased many musical selections featuring different instruments, props, costumes, and more.  A huge thank you to Mrs. Henning for producing such engaging and student-centered shows!  Way to go, Wildcats!

LEGO Night

GDW's LEGO Night was awesome!  As part of our school's commitment to providing academically focused family engagement opportunities, Gary D. Wright Elementary School Staff partnered with LEGO Education to provide this fun-filled event for our students and families.  Throughout the evening, staff guided our LEGO enthusiasts through a series of activities that promoted exploration and creativity.  Students left with LEGO kits, access to a packet of extension activities, and a swag bag filled with LEGO-themed items!

Congratulations, Mrs. Stacy Smith!

On behalf of the Gary D. Wright Elementary School learning community, I would like to congratulate Mrs. Stacy Smith (Fifth Grade Teacher) on her recent recognition as GDW's nominee for the D300 Foundation For Educational Excellence Distinguished Educator of the Year Award.  Mrs. Smith will be honored at the upcoming Foundation Awards Banquet.  We are so proud of Mrs. Smith and are grateful for her dedication to the GDW school community!
