We are excited to share some amazing news from Gilkey Elementary - they are published authors! Yesterday, Mrs. Heath's third grade class at Gilkey Elementary presented their book "Are You a Leader?" at a Publishing Party. Throughout the story, each student shares their advice for future Gilkey Geckos. What an amazing opportunity for these students, we are proud of each of you for being great LEADers! Go Geckos!
Who doesn't love a great holiday tradition?! It was great fun at Gilkey, Cooper and Starr Elementary Schools as the Middle and High School Choirs performed for the students at their annual holiday caroling tour throughout the district. This annual caroling event includes a number of holiday classic songs, as well as a few new favorites...including a special appearance from "Olaf". It is always a favorite for all the students and staff involved, the smiles were priceless!
The holiday fun continues throughout our elementary buildings. From Candy Cane Day, to Pajama Day to dress like the Grinch Day, our students are excited to show their holiday spirit before Winter Holiday Break. We ❤️ all the joy and smiles it brings to our students!

This morning, Gilkey Elementary held their November/December Student and Staff of the Month ceremony. Each month, Gilkey teachers select one student and staff member who they felt did an outstanding job throughout the month. In November/ December the focus was on self control. Way to go, Geckos!
Throughout the district, the elementary students are having lots of fun with various dress up days! From Frosty’s Fun Day to Tinsel Tuesday to Bright Lights Day, our students are spreading joy and being festive leading up to the holidays.
She’s back! It was lots of fun at Gilkey Elementary this morning as the Geckos had a special visitor…Snowflake the Elf returned and went on a great adventure throughout the building. What a fun way to start the day, the hallways were filled with joy and laughter from all the Gilkey Geckos.
Ms. Hannig's second graders at Gilkey Elementary studied Christmas Around the World, where they had a special (and yummy) project from France. As a class, they made French Yule Logs. What a fun learning opportunity for these Gilkey Geckos!
