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!

⚗️ Mixing it up at Gateway!

Our 5th graders had some "chemical attraction" to science today! Thanks to Discovery Gateway Children's Museum for an incredible assembly on chemical reactions. Our Raptors loved the hands-on demonstrations and explosive results! 🔬🌋

Our 2nd and 3rd graders took a trip down to St. George last week to explore the Red Hills Desert Garden! 🌵☀️
From the winding paths to the incredible desert plants, it was the perfect "outdoor classroom." Our students had a blast learning about the local ecosystem and seeing how life thrives in the desert. We’re so lucky to have such world-class learning spots right in our backyard!
