Learning new words has never been this exciting! So proud of all the effort and imagination that went into today. 💡✨
#GBI #VocabularyParade #LearningIsFun #CreativeMinds #StudentLife
Our GBI students transformed the classroom into a living Wax Museum! After researching influential figures, each student became their chosen person—dressed in character, standing still like a statue… until YOU brought them to life 💡
With the push of a button, these “figures” lit up and began speaking in first person, sharing their stories, accomplishments, and impact on the world. From start to finish, the dedication, creativity, and confidence on display were incredible!
We are so proud of the hard work these students put into their research and presentations. History has never felt so real!

They were the BEST guest readers—engaging, enthusiastic, and inspiring our younger Wildcats every step of the way. It means so much to see these student-athletes serving as positive role models and showing that reading is just as important as anything on the field.
We’re so proud of the way they give back and connect with our students. The future is bright for our Wildcats!

What an unforgettable day at our Relay for Life fundraiser!
Our incredible teachers stepped up (and took pies to the face! ) to help raise money for an amazing cause. The laughter, the teamwork, and the overwhelming support from our school community made this event a huge success!
Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to making a difference in the fight against cancer. We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for coming together and showing what it truly means to give back.
Who knew getting pied could feel so rewarding?!
