Mrs. Teeman’s and Mrs. Scott’s classes are published authors! They worked hard to turn their how-to writing into a published class book.

It has been an egg-citing few days at GBP! 🐣

We’ve officially been on chick watch as eggs have started hatching in our incubators. Thanks to our new PTA-funded incubator in the STEAM Lab, we already have 11 chicks hatched and more on the way! Kindergarten and second grade have both welcomed five chicks too!

Students have loved observing the process up close and watching these tiny chicks make their big debut. 💛

As this week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognize the incredible teachers who make our school so special. 🍎💚🐾

Our teachers pour so much of themselves into their classrooms each and every day—encouraging, supporting, teaching, loving, and believing in their students. The impact they make reaches far beyond academics, and GBP is better because of them!

While we couldn’t fit every amazing teacher into the photos on this post, today we celebrate all of them and the countless ways they make a difference every single day. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do. You are deeply appreciated this week and always!
