That’s a Wrap! 🎬
What a totally tubular week it has been! To close out our 80s-themed Staff Appreciation Week, our team showed up in style today, rocking everything from neon windbreakers and leg warmers to shirts featuring our favorite 80s icons.
From the breakfast treats to the heartfelt notes, it’s been an incredible week celebrating the legends who make Gateway Preparatory Academy such a radical place to learn. Whether you channeled your inner Cyndi Lauper, Star Child, Care bear energy, or just brought the big hair energy, you made this week unforgettable!
A huge thank you to our PTO, our amazing families, and our community for showering our staff with so much love.
