Happy Saturday & Happy Valentine’s Day, Gateway families! 🌟

We’re taking a moment today to reflect on a wonderful week of learning and growth. We have so much to be thankful for in our halls, and we’d love to hear from you:

• What is one 'small win' your student had this week? (Maybe a tough lesson finally clicked or they shared a kind word with a peer!)
• Is there a teacher or staff member who made the week extra special? 🍎

Drop your 'small wins' and shout-outs in the comments below! Let’s head into the weekend celebrating our amazing school community. 👇

Love is in the air at Gateway! ❤️✨

From big milestones to the small moments that make us smile, we are feeling the joy today. Our Upper Elementary students have been busy spreading the love by writing Kindness Notes for their friends—because a few kind words can change someone's whole day! 📝💕

We also had an inspiring visit from the Hope Squad, teaching us all about the power of kindness and the importance of holding onto hope. 🤝❤️

It’s a beautiful day to celebrate our community and the way we lift each other up.
