School is closed today, but the world is still a classroom! Show us what your little ones are 'absorbing' today—whether it’s the physics of a sled or the art of the perfect marshmallow-to-cocoa ratio. ☕️⛄️

Big day for Gateway at the MathCounts competition! 🏆

We are beyond thrilled to announce that our GPA Team took 5th Place overall in the Team Round! The teamwork and logic on display were next level.
A special shoutout to Ethan A., who placed 10th individually and earned a spot in the high-stakes Countdown Round! ⚡️ Watching him compete under pressure was a highlight of the day.
Gateway is so proud of this entire group of "mathletes" for their hard work and brilliance! 🧮

Our 2/3 classes had a "genie-us" time at CCCMT yesterday! 🧞‍♂️ We loved watching Aladdin come to life on stage. It was a day filled with music, laughter, and a little bit of magic.
