Whew, when they say the Gary ISD Costume Contest (and Halloween Week) must be seen to be believed, we are NOT kidding! It really is amazing seeing all of the students and staff from the entire district come together for this fun! We have a ton of photos of the event, and apologize ahead of time if some groups may be missing!
đŽ Gary ISD Esports is dominating the competition! Our Overwatch team is ranked 4th in the state and our Smash Teams are smashing their way to success, ranked 10 and 13 in Texas! With just 3 weeks left in the season, we're on the road to playoffs! đđšī¸
This week, we're proud to announce that Jacob Prewitt is our Player of the Week!đĒ Let's keep up the fantastic work, gamers - playoffs are within our grasp!đĨ #GaryISDEsports #GamingChamps #EsportsPowerhouse #PlayoffBound #EsportsJourney #PlayerOfTheWeek #GameOn
Pink gave it a good run with over 105 staff members and students dressed out in their Pink best, but Blue blew everyone out of the water with almost 150 staff members and students dressed out! Thank you to everyone that participated in our Color War!
Unfortunately, due to the weather, the Haunted Trail will not open until tomorrow night.
It was wonderful seeing everyone decked out in their princess best and pirate worst! Tomorrow is the color war between the following colors; Blue, White, Green, Purple or Pink! The color with the majority wins the war! Also, we ask that students at secondary do not wear hats tomorrow with their outfits.
Of course, we can't forget about our secondary crew and royalty!
Here are some more of our fancy ladies and fearsome pirates!
We had a lot of princess and pirates at our district today! Check out some of our awesome participants!
Calling all bakers! The Freshmen class is in need of cakes for the Cake Walk at the Fall Festival. Please bring all cakes to the Elementary or High School offices tomorrow (Thursday) or Friday.
Reminder-most teachers are offering a perk in their class for donated cakes. Each cake will need a form filled out with the designated teacher circled. There are extra forms in both offices. Limit of one cake per class.
Thank you from the Class of 2027!
"LDEs" or Leadership Development Events are "speaking events" that FFA Members compete in each year at the district, area and state levels. This year we have 20 students competing in 7 different events. These teams/individuals enter a room with judges and present their script/presentation fully memorized and in full "official FFA dress" at each event to those judges who critique them on their speaking abilities, answering questions and their presentations.
Last week they competed at their first "invitational" (much like a sports tournament) at Longview High School against 38 schools where our placings were extremely promising as we prepare for District (11/7)! There are 23 schools in our district (FFA isn't broken down into size of school, but instead only by location on a map) and 110 schools in our area. We have to be in the top 3 teams in the district to advance to the area contest.

We had a blast with everyone today participating in Rhyme without Reason! We are excited to see our princesses and pirates tomorrow! Quick reminder; please do not bring any weapons (swords or guns) with your costume!
Congratulations to our Secondary winners for today's Red Ribbon Week theme; Rhyme Without Reason!
Our students and staff were very inventive with today's theme!

It was great seeing everyone dressed in their cozy best today! We can't wait to see what everyone does for Nonsensical Rhyme day! We may even award prizes to the best dressed!
Tomorrow starts our Red Ribbon dress up week! We look forward to everyone coming to school in their comfy (school appropriate) pajamas!
Come out and see our young stars!
đŽđ In an exciting week for #GaryISDEsports, our Player of the Week, Shaun Ritter, came through clutch! Shaun's performance secured the win for our Smash Bros. Ultimate Team, adding to the Bobcats' victories in 2 out of 3 games. Our Overwatch team sits at a well-deserved 4th place in the state, and our Smash Bros. Ultimate teams are proudly ranked in the top 20! With just 4 games left in the season, the thrill is building! #EsportsChampions #GameOn #ShaunRitter đĨ
