It was a bushel of fun in K/1 for Apple Day! 🍏🍎
Fresh apple juice, homemade applesauce, and tons of smilesβ€”we were having too much fun to get photos of everything, but here are a couple of sneak peeks!
A giant thank-you to our amazing families for all the delicious treats and donations. We love our school family! ❀️

What a fun (and refreshing!) night with our Gateway families! πŸ’¦πŸŽ‰
It was so wonderful seeing all of our amazing students and families come together tonight!
A huge thank you to our PTO for putting together such a wonderful event. πŸ™ŒπŸ’™ Thank you to everyone who came out, laughed, splashed, and braved the accidental "polar plunge"! πŸ₯ΆπŸŒŠ We are so sorry for the surprise chilly waterβ€”we had no advance warning that the heater decided to take the night off, but our Raptors proved they are tough and know how to make the best of any adventure!
Thank you for bringing the warmth and energy to an unforgettable evening. We love our Gateway community! β€οΈπŸ¦–

Big Friday energy! πŸ¦–βœ¨ Another awesome middle schooler cashed in their school bank bucks today for the ultimate reward: taking over as the school mascot for a whole class period.
Hard work pays offβ€”and sometimes it pays off in dinosaur form! πŸ’™πŸ’šβ€οΈ
