Gary FFA has had a busy Spring Break! First, our Nursery Landscape and Floriculture teams traveled to the Area 6 FFA Competition on Tuesday, 4/16 where over 65 schools competed for a spot to advance to the respective state competitions.
These teams are trained by Jessica Shadix

🌷Floriculture- 24th place team

While these placings might not seem exciting to some, THEY ARE! The two teams are made up of all freshmen except 1 and these contests are brand new to Gary FFA and it takes a year or two to establish a strong foundation at the state qualifying level. IT WILL HAPPEN!!
Congrats to these teams! In celebration, ice cream before lunch was a must!

GISD is closely monitoring the weather and still plans to start school at our normal schedule Thursday. We understand that some in the community live on roads that may not be safe to drive on at this time. Remember, do not drive through water over the road; turn around, don’t drown. If you cannot travel safely, all we ask is that you call us in the morning and let us know that your child will not be present. Thank you and stay safe!
Parents, STAAR testing resumes tomorrow on both campuses. A snack and a bottle of water will be provided to all students testing. High school students; pease bring your charged school-issued Chromebook and your charger! We understand that some roads may not be safe to travel, if your student cannot make it to school please let your front office know and your student can make up their test on Friday.
Due to the oncoming severe weather, school has been canceled for today. We hope that all of our families stay safe with all of this rain and will see everyone tomorrow. STAAR testing will resume on Thursday.
Due to inclement weather we will be releasing students at 1pm today. Buses will run during this time.
