We had a great time seeing all the students dressed out this week to celebrate Homecoming! Tomorrow is the big day, and we will start by offering HoCo Spirit items for students to purchase, with the Pep Rally at 1PM and the Homecoming celebration beginning at 5PM. We hope to see everyone there!

We had a special guest, Sergeant Jordan, Infantry Squad Leader, who stopped by today to read and provide a show and tell of his uniform and medals to Mrs. Hartt’s first grade class! We appreciate his visit and the time he spent with everyone!


We are thankful for the service and sacrifice our veterans have done in the service of our country. Our students were more than happy to dedicate time today to honor all of those who have served in the armed forced and we thank all of our families and veterans for attending our Veterans Day Salute!










Just a reminder that we will have picture retakes tomorrow for students that either missed Fall pictures or need to retake them!

Our latest Habit Heroes are Kathryn and Thomas! Kathryn was proactive at lunch and immediately helped students clean up spilled milk and Thomas volunteered Mrs. Anderson with cleaning! Way to go being great leaders at Gary Elementary!


Congratulations to our Elementary Students of the Month for October!
