We’re halfway through “Show Up September” and your commitment to showing up is making a difference! Keep building those strong habits: every day in class is a step toward success. Stay consistent. Stay motivated. Stay all in for attendance. Here is an attendance fact… Chronic absence — missing 10 percent or more of school days due to absence for any reason—excused, unexcused absences and suspensions, can translate into students that have difficulty learning to read by the third grade, achieving in middle school, and graduating from high school.

Congratulations to two amazing and deserving winners for our Teacher and Employee of the Year! Ms. Campbell leads with class and a supporting hand. She is constantly connecting with her students, parents and those around her. You will often see Ms. Campbell at all the sporting events cheering on our kids and showing true Gopher pride. She is a great example of a dedicated teacher and has her students trained that they were scared to clap and make too much noise because they know Ms. Campbell needs focus to be successful! Coach Chris has made an impact in so many unique ways on campus. In my time here, he has been a team player, subbing and supporting students. If you ever need to find Coach Chris, you can find him mentoring students. He has a special way to connect with all of those around him. The students truly look for Coach Chris for guidance. Many times, students tell me they need to talk to him because he gives the best advice. He holds his basketball team to high standards and looks for ways to build a culture of having Gopher Pride!! Way to go!

September 11, 2001, is etched in our collective memory — a day of loss, courage, confusion, and unity. Each year, we pause to remember not just the tragedy, but the extraordinary bravery, compassion, and resilience that followed.

Congratulations to Ms. Knowles! She has been chosen as the Gopher Educator of the Month for August!
11 days ago, Go-Pher Stone!
Picture of Ms. Knowles in front of a promethean board with congratulations and her name.  Her reason for being chosen is below the banner of Gopher Educator of the Month. Quote from Ms. McHenry...Ms. Knowles goes above and beyond for her students with her lesson planning and thoughtfulness.  She is also an exceptional mentor to me and goes above and beyond for me as well.  She is always helping me with various tasks and giving me any materials/advice that I need.  I seriously would be so lost without her!
