Here's a great thing happening at GFW Elementary:
Students in kindergarten are preparing for some special guests! Ms Holmgren says: “My kindergarten class has started a project, raising chicks! We were donated eight eggs and put them into an incubator. As of last Friday, we have five chicks beginning development. Students have learned a lot and we can’t wait to meet the chicks!"
Students will be making posters on different stages of development and learning all about baby chicks before they present what they learned and celebrate the "birthday" of the chicks soon.
Even with the interesting weather this season, it is great to be able to cheer on the T-Birds!
Eighth graders in College and Career Readiness class have been learning the importance of acts of kindness this semester. Students have completed 100 random acts of kindness since January, a goal they have been working hard to achieve!
