Congratulations, GDW Fifth Graders!

Congratulations to our fifth grade students as you complete your elementary school years at GDW and move on to middle school in the fall!  You are a very special group to me because I have had the privilege of knowing many of you since you were in kindergarten, when I began my principalship at Gary D. Wright Elementary School!  It has been a joy watching you learn and grow throughout the past six years.  I know you are going to accomplish great things!  Keep working hard and doing your best, and please stay in touch!

 

GDW's Band & Orchestra Zoom Concert

 Tonight we were able to gather together virtually to enjoy GDW's Band and Orchestra Zoom Concert.  During the concert, we learned about our students' favorite things about band and orchestra.  We also got a glimpse into their practices, and we were able to enjoy several musical selections.  A huge thank you to GDW's Band and Orchestra Teacher, Miss Mitchell, for coordinating such a wonderful music-filled evening.  Also, congratulations to all of GDW's Band and Orchestra students.  You have worked so hard this year and shown true dedication to learning a new instrument...even during remote learning!  We are very thankful to our teachers and families who have shown continued support to our students' music education.  Way to go, Wildcats!
