Our talented 4th Grade Chorus from Great Bridge Intermediate had the incredible honor of performing the National Anthem at a Norfolk Tides game!

Their voices filled the stadium with pride and patriotism, representing our school and community beautifully. We are so proud of these young performers for their hard work, confidence, and outstanding performance on such a big stage!

Way to go, GBI Chorus!

We honor the strength, courage, and resilience of our military children 💜🇺🇸

These amazing students serve too—through moves, deployments, new schools, and time away from loved ones. Their bravery, flexibility, and strength inspire us every day.

Thank you to our military families and especially our military children for the sacrifices you make and the pride you carry. We see you, we celebrate you, and we are proud to support you.

Today was such a fun and creative day at GBI! We had our Vocabulary Word Parade, and it was amazing to see everyone bring words to life through costumes. From “brave” to “magnificent,” each student showed off their word with so much creativity and confidence.

Learning new words has never been this exciting! So proud of all the effort and imagination that went into today. 💡✨

Step into history… and watch it come to life ✨

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!

Our GBHS football players made a special visit to Great Bridge Intermediate, sharing their love of reading with every classroom! 📚🏈

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 night at our Student vs. Faculty Basketball Game! The energy in the gym was electric, the competition was fierce, and the school spirit was on another level!

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?!
