Together or Apart, We are Wildcats at Heart!

 

The Gary D. Wright Elementary School learning community is incredibly special.  As we prepare to transition students to in-person learning or the District 300 Virtual Academy either tomorrow for students in grades K-3 or November 2 for students in grades 4-5, there are so many reminders of just how special our learning community really is.  To begin, our incredible PTO has created beautiful displays in our school's main lobby.  The first display reminds us that "together or apart, we are Wildcats at heart".  The hearts displayed were made by our students and contain heartfelt messages that show just how special the relationships are between our students, staff, and families.  This display also reminds us that regardless of which option students will be engaged in, we will continue to remain united as one learning community.  The second display promotes our school-wide focus on Kindness throughout the month of October.  Another very special part of our learning community is having the ability to connect with Mr. Gary D. Wright.  Mr. Wright sent me a message today and shared that he continues to think of the teachers/faculty, staff, students, and families each day.  Mr. Wright is a bright light and I am grateful for his support and encouragement as well as that of our PTO, families, students, staff, and community.  We are excited to begin welcoming students back to our school for the first time tomorrow since March 13!
