GDW PTO's Culver's Night

The GDW PTO's Culver's Night was a huge success!  Our Wildcat Staff volunteered to serve both drive-thru and dine-in customers, many of which were our very own GDW students and families!  It was a wonderful event and I would like to thank Culver's, the GDW PTO, our GDW staff volunteers, and our GDW students and families for making this evening out so special!  

Mrs. Moore's Third Graders Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

As part of Gary D. Wright Elementary School's Hispanic Heritage Month activities, Mrs. Moore's Third Graders researched biographical information about influential Hispanic figures who have made significant contributions to politics, sports, music, art, literature, television, space exploration, and more!  The students posted their research as well as inspirational quotes from their famous individuals.  Way to go, Wildcats!

The Return of GDW's Annual Fifth Grade Egg Drop

Friday was a wonderful day, because for the first time since 2019, GDW was able to host our Annual Fifth Grade Egg Drop!  As part of Fifth Grade's Science Unit of Study on Earth's Forces, students have been learning about gravity.  In collaborative teams, students worked to apply their learning while designing a contraption with the goal of protecting an egg from cracking as it lands on the ground after being dropped by GDW Staff from our school's roof.  To make the event even more special, our Fifth Grade students were cheered on by their Kindergarten Buddies!  The cheers of encouragement and celebration were absolutely heartwarming!  Way to go, Wildcats!
