Love spotting our Gateway alums out on the field!

🥍 We caught a group of them playing lacrosse for Cedar High today. While it was a tough loss, they showed so much heart and hustle, playing hard until the final whistle. So proud to see them continuing to shine!

Who knew math could be this "pop"-ular? 🫧

This week middle schoolers, took their geometry lesson to the tables! Students cticed calculating circumference and area by blowing bubbles and measuring the circles they left behind. It’s one thing to see a formula on a whiteboard, but it’s much more fun to see it in a soap suds!📐✨

There’s something truly magical about the glow of a flashlight and a great story! ✨🔦
Last week, our classrooms turned into cozy reading dens as we celebrated the joy of books. We loved seeing Mrs. Glenn’s class diving into their reading by flashlight, and we had a special treat when Mrs. Hughes’s 2/3 class visited Mrs. Corry’s K/1 students to share stories.📖❤️
