'Tis the Season For Holiday Concerts

This week, Gary D. Wright Elementary School hosted our first in-person concerts since 2019!  On Tuesday, our Band, Choir, and Orchestra performed a holiday concert under the direction of Mrs. Henning (choir) and Miss Mitchell (band/orchestra).  On Wednesday evening, our second graders presented "The Reindeer Games", under the direction of Mrs. Henning.  On Thursday, our third grade students presented "Jingle Bell Jukebox", under the direction of Mrs. Henning and Mrs. Senior.  It was a wonderful opportunity to listen to the sounds of the season as presented by our Wildcat musicians.  

Hampshire High School's "Pack The Place" Basketball Games

This evening, it was an honor to join students, staff, and families from our Hampshire High School feeder schools as we cheered on the Whippurs during the JV and Varsity Boys and Girls Basketball games! During halftime of the Girls Varsity Basketball Game, I joined Superintendent Harkin, Principal Porsche, and  Principal Nolan as we received a special recognition for our leadership in District 300. What an honor! Also, congratulations to GDW first grader, Olivia Arellano, who won the raffle and received a basketball signed by the HHS basketball teams!  What a great event!

PTO's Holiday Hoopla

This evening, the GDT PTO hosted our Holiday Hoopla, which provided our Wildcat Families with a variety of festive games, crafts, activities, a visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus, and delicious cookies and hot chocolate.  A huge thank you to the GDW PTO for coordinating a spectacular Holiday Hoopla, which was a free event for our Wildcat Families!  We are also thankful for our student and staff volunteers who helped to ensure the evening was smooth and successful!  Happy Holidays, Wildcats!
