Student safety starts before the bell even rings.

Last week, staff and students at GFW Elementary School had a fantastic time during their K-2 and 3-5 grade Firebird P.R.I.D.E. assemblies in the new auditorium.

The focus for October is on the "P" which stands for having a positive attitude. A few teachers demonstrated positive attitudes while they did some difficult minute to win it challenges.

We have seen some pretty incredible school spirit during Homecoming Week, but it's going to be hard to beat the energy from Ms. Maldonado's kindergartners!

GFW Property Owners are able to check the potential tax impact using the online tax calculator using your parcel ID

For Question 1, a home with an estimated market value of $175,000, would see an annual tax increase estimated to be approximately $22 per year or $2 per month.

For question 2, on a home with an estimated market value of $175,000, the annual impact would be $24 or $2 per month.

Agricultural properties would see relief with the Ag2School Credit covering 55% of the costs of question 2, which comes out to $1.76 million of the total bond cost.

Question 2 is all about putting resources where they have the greatest impact - our students.

Even vacant buildings require ongoing spending for utilities, insurance, inspections and maintenance. By removing aging facilities that no longer serve educational needs, we can focus resources on safe, modern learning environments that support student success.

Students in Mr Dela Cruz's Precalculus class recently presented their outputs on applying equations to real-world situations involving item costs, discounts, and taxes.

They did a fantastic job demonstrating their understanding and connecting the mathematics to practical, everyday scenarios while putting lots of work into their presentations!

The GFW Homecoming Meet the Candidates event was full of fun! Our candidates got to participate in different activities, with the big hit being "guess the drink," in which one of the options was bone broth. There will be lots more homecoming fun coming this week!

Our students are preparing for a future that changes every day. To succeed, they need access to learning resources that keep pace with the world around them.

The moment a history book is printed, it becomes outdated. That’s why many of our curriculum resources are delivered through online subscriptions, giving students and teachers access to the most current lessons, information, and educational tools available.

By investing in modern learning resources, we’re helping every Firebird build essential knowledge and confidence for the future.
