GFW Public Schools

Last week was one for the history books as the newly crowned all time lead scorer in GFW Boys Basketball, Cole Jacobson, passed the 2,000 point mark for career points!

Superintendent Berg was at the Capitol today meeting with legislators to discuss how decisions made in St. Paul directly impact the financial and operational stability of GFW Schools.

State funding and policy decisions affect everything from our budget and staffing to the learning happening in our classrooms. Telling our story helps protect and promote responsible, sustainable solutions for our schools and community.

Pictured with Superintendent Berg are our local-elected officials, Representative Bobbie Harder and Senator Glenn Gruenhagen.

Students and staff were looking good on Red, White, and Blue Day during FFA Week!

This student art is extremely mooooooving!

Congratulations to the GFW Middle School Students of the Month for December!

Check out this awesome Solar System project that third graders put together!

Last Friday was a great celebration of our seniors at the Boys Basketball Game. It was an honor to be able to celebrate Landon Firle, Owen Swenson, Luke Bastian, and Cole Jacobson in their final season at GFW!

We were so excited to be able to hold an assembly yesterday to honor Brayden Miller and his team as they prepare for state. The coaches even joined to say a few words. We are cheering for you Brayden!

We love when hands-on learning makes a real impact! High School Shop students helped to install some great bookshelves in the reading nook located in the Business Center. Great work!

The GFW Community Bus is making a slight change to the schedule! The last Friday of each month will now have the bus parked at the GFW PreK-12 Facility in Gibbon.

This community resource is doing amazing things!

It was basically a second first day of school for our middle school and high school students this week and they did a fantastic job! Middle school students even got a little help from Ms. Wood with their new lockers.

We were excited to welcome KEYC into our building this week to celebrate having all of our students under one roof! Check out Superintendent Berg's interview to get a closer look.

Current GFW Staff who were either GFW alumni or graduates from one of the three towns represented in GFW posed for a photo at the new school. What an incredible show of community togetherness and Firebird Pride!
