We miss seeing your smiling faces in the halls, hearing your laughter and sharing all the moments in the library in classrooms. It’s just not the same without you. We hope you’ve been enjoying your- summer reading great books, spending time with family and making wonderful memories!
We can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another amazing school year until then. We miss you and we’re thinking about you!

💐 A Special Mother’s Day Gesture from Gililland First Grade 💐
On Friday after school, Gililland first grade teacher Ms. Melon and her first grade students, along with their parents, visited a local nursing home to share a very special gift—handmade Mother’s Day cards for the residents. 💌
The smiles on the residents’ faces said it all as our students delivered cards filled with love and kindness to the “grandmas” in the nursing home. One first grader shared that doing this made her feel good, reminding us all how powerful small acts of kindness can be.
We are so proud of Ms. Melon and our first graders for showing compassion, empathy, and heart. Moments like these truly reflect the spirit of Gililland—where learning goes beyond the classroom and kindness leads the way. 💙🦅

We’re so grateful to Ardent Mills for visiting Gililland Elementary! Our 3rd–5th graders loved learning how wheat is transformed into flour, and our younger students enjoyed special storytime with guest readers. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with our students—it made a lasting impact! 🌾📚
