🎓SUNDAY ALUMNI SPECIAL

The Ultimate Journey!
Check out this wall of legends! We are beyond thrilled to celebrate our biggest group of "Gate Keepers" yet— students who have been with us from their very first day of Kindergarten all the way through 8th Grade graduation.
From tiny backpacks to big ambitions, these Raptors have done it all! As we finish the year strong, we want to see where that Gateway path has led our past students.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Are you a Gateway Alumnus or do you know one doing amazing things? Whether it's a college milestone, a cool career, or a community project, we want to celebrate you!
Email your story to: magiepowell@gpacharter.com
Let's keep cheering on our alumni from the sidelines!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to support our musicians tonight! The energy in the auditorium was amazing. It takes a village (and a lot of sheet music) to make magic like this happen. 🎶👏 #Gatewayisagreatway #schoolmusic #bandconcert #Gatewayisagreatway

Switzerland comes to Gateway! 🇨🇭✨
Mrs. Corry’s Kinder and 1st-grade students took a deep dive into Swiss culture this week.
They also had a surprise guest—Hines the Mountain Man (Mrs. Corry’s brother!)—who shared his experiences living abroad, taught some of the language, and brought plenty of Swiss chocolate to go around. 🏔️🍫
It was a day full of curiosity, culture, and very happy taste buds!
