Public Schools Week is a reminder that public education is not just about schools—it’s about people.
Public education represents opportunity, inclusion, and the shared belief that every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and succeed.
It is made possible by the dedication of our teachers and staff, who inspire students daily. It’s also thanks to our families and caregivers who champion their children’s education.
Thank you to everyone at GFW Public Schools who works so hard to provide great opportunities for our students!
While Brayden did not advance to state, he did have two wins at sectionals which means he has passed the milestone of 50 career wins! Way to go!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, students gave their valentine bags to their peers, recognizing what they think is special about each other.
