Public Schools Week is a reminder that public education is not just about schools—it’s about people.
Public education represents opportunity, inclusion, and the shared belief that every child deserves a chance to learn, grow, and succeed.
It is made possible by the dedication of our teachers and staff, who inspire students daily. It’s also thanks to our families and caregivers who champion their children’s education.
Thank you to everyone at GFW Public Schools who works so hard to provide great opportunities for our students!
While Brayden did not advance to state, he did have two wins at sectionals which means he has passed the milestone of 50 career wins! Way to go!

We had such a fun day celebrating 100 days of school! In math we made a tower with 100 cups, we counted cubes by 10's. We also did an experiment predicting if the heart candies would sink or float using different liquids (vinegar, soda and water). To celebrate Valentine's Day, students gave their valentine bags to their peers, recognizing what they think is special about each other.

He visited to read a book about dental care in spanish to the students and at end of the story he asked them who had the cleanest teeth in the classroom "Quien tiene los dientes más limpios en el aula?" as they saw their reflection in a mirror. What a fun day!
