5th Graders learned about the world renown artist, Dale Chihuly, from Seattle, Washington. Chihuly is known for his organic glass blowing sculptures. The students also took a trip to the Hot Shops Art Center where they observed live glass blowing demonstrations. A few students wrote to the artist. Let's hope we hear back from Mr. Chihuly! Kindergarten created Chihuly's Macchia bowls out of coffee filters and the primary colors!

Ahoy, Mateys! It’s National School Lunch Week! We celebrated with the theme "School Lunch Pirates: Find Your Treasure!" 🏴‍☠️ Our amazing Food and Nutrition teams showed their school spirit in new pirate-themed shirts, thanks to a manager who went the extra mile to make the week special. It was a fun-filled week, and GPS, along with our students, want to thank FANS for taking us on this high-seas adventure of good nutrition, where we discovered treasure in every healthy meal! #NationalSchoolLunchWeek #SchoolLunchPirates #FindYourTreasure #HealthyEating #SchoolSpirit
