Survival of the... bravest? 🦎🦗👀
Our scholars in Mr. Sayward’s academic support class took hands-on learning to a whole new level! While studying how people eat insects to survive extreme circumstances, these brave scholars insisted they wanted to try it for themselves.
Yes, those are actual dried bugs! 🐜🍽️
They took some hesitant first bites, gave some very surprising reviews, and ultimately proved they have what it takes to survive in the wild. A huge shoutout to our adventurous scholars for being such great sports!

Mrs. Martin’s dad, Lt. Col. Phillips, a retired pilot and former flight instructor at the Air Force Academy, spoke with scholars about his experiences flying in the USAF/ANG for more than 20 years before spending another 20+ years flying for Delta.
Scholars asked great questions about planes, flying, and the places he’s traveled, while also sharing their own aviation knowledge. They learned that Lt. Col. Phillips flew fighter planes, cargo planes, and commercial planes — and even reached 49,000 feet in the air. He also shared that the C-5 Galaxy is longer than the Wright brothers’ first flight!
Scholars left with their own foam glider and a C-5 fact sheet, and even learned that Mrs. Martin has flown a plane too. It was an unforgettable experience for our second graders!

Today, our scholars had the incredible opportunity to hear from one of our very own! GESD alum Jillian Christiano, now a Video Game Designer at Wolfjaw Studios, joined us for Career Day to share her journey into the gaming industry.
Jillian has worked on major title releases that our scholars know and love, including:
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 🛹

A huge thank you to Jillian for giving back to her hometown community and showing our scholars that their dream careers are well within reach!
🐷📚 Mrs. VanNostrand and Miss Walker’s 3rd grade class recently celebrated the end of their Charlotte’s Web novel study with a special movie day and some fun pig-themed snacks! 🍿🐽
Throughout the novel study, scholars explored themes of friendship, kindness, and helping others while building their reading comprehension and engaging in thoughtful class discussions along the way. Ending the unit with the movie and themed snacks was a fun way to celebrate all of their hard work and enjoy a classic story together! 🕸️✨
Great job to these scholars for bringing the story to life in their own way-and for proving once again that reading isn’t just something we do, it’s something we get to enjoy every day. ❤️🤍
