Shoutout to our hardworking Gateway PTO! πŸ¦–

Our PTO is currently raising funds to bring more free family activities to our campus and add much-needed shade over our playground areas.

You can support their efforts tonight just by grabbing dinner! Make it a No-Mess Monday with Panda Express-enjoy an easy meal with the family, skip the sink full of dishes, and help support our school community in the process.

Thank you to our incredible families and PTO for always making Gateway a better place for our students! πŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’™πŸΌ

πŸŽƒ Pumpkin patch adventures have begun! 🚜
Last week, our 2nd and 3rd graders had an absolute blast at Staheli Family Farm! Between finding their way through the maze, visiting the animals, and picking out the perfect pumpkins, it was a day full of big smiles, fresh air, and autumn fun.

A huge thank you to our incredible teachers, chaperones, and the wonderful staff at Staheli Farm for hosting us and making this trip so memorable!

Ready, aim, PIE! 🎯πŸ₯§

When hard work pays off, things get a little messy! One determined middle schooler saved up all their school class bank, and they claimed the top prize: a face full of whipped cream for the principal.

Huge props to the best sport of a principal anywhere.
