Happy First Day of Spring! 🌸
What better way to welcome the new season than by making our mark on the future? Today, the entire school came together for a special "topping out" tradition, signing the final beams for our brand-new Andy Burt Fieldhouse! 🏗️✍️
These beams carry the names of the students, teachers, and staff who make our community so special. Soon, they’ll be lifted into place, literally building our school's legacy from the ground up.
It’s a beautiful day to be a Raptor! ✨

🌿 Kindergarten & 1st Grade Scientist Takeover!

We had some very special guests at Gateway this week! A huge thank you to Red Butte Garden & Arboretum from the University of Utah for visiting our K-1 students.

Our budding scientists got to roll up their sleeves and dive into the world of botany, using magnifying glasses to observe and study different plant species. It was a day full of curiosity, discovery, and green thumbs! 🌱

Gym floor, blankets, and a great story! 🍿

There’s nothing better than a movie day to celebrate finishing Holes. Our 4th and 5th graders worked so hard reading the book and decorating their halls, so we cleared out the gym and settled in for the big
screen experience to celebrate!
Great job to all our readers! 📚🎞️
