Gary Elementary has great students that will be future leaders in our community! Today, we have two that are our first Habit Heroes of the week, Boston and Heatyn! Boston was a Habit Hero for being proactive and handling a problem with a leaking water bottle instead of ignoring it and letting water spill everywhere. Heatyn was a Habit Hero for thinking win-win and helping the entire class with cleaning supplies in his classroom stations!

Good morning Parents and Students,
We have very few people who have signed up for the Band App. We ask that both parents and students make sure they have joined the Band. The google classroom guardian feature is not wanting to work for us, which means only students will be able to join the google classroom. Parents, rest assured, you can still view this information with a student as well as have access to it on the band app.
The deadline to fill out the sign in/information form is fast approaching (September 15), this will allow your Ag teacher to know who will be showing what animal species. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Creech or Mr. Shadix.
