Stepping out of the classroom and onto the ropes! 🌲🎒
Our middle schoolers kicked off fall by tackling the
SUU Ropes Course, and the teamwork on display was next level. High elements, big challenges, and even bigger support for one another. Proud of the grit and encouragement these students brought to the course!

"Wait... there's a seed on every single petal?!" 🌸😯

That was the big realization for our 2nd/3rd grade students as they harvested seeds from the zinnias we grew last spring. Completing the plant life cycle teaches patience, science, and a little bit of magic.
These seeds will rest over the winter and head back into the soil this coming spring!🌱

Shoutout to our hardworking Gateway PTO! 🦖

Our PTO is currently raising funds to bring more free family activities to our campus and add much-needed shade over our playground areas.

You can support their efforts tonight just by grabbing dinner! Make it a No-Mess Monday with Panda Express-enjoy an easy meal with the family, skip the sink full of dishes, and help support our school community in the process.

Thank you to our incredible families and PTO for always making Gateway a better place for our students! 💚❤️💙🐼
