Gilham Elementary School

Thank you to all of the volunteers that support Gilham. You Rock!

It was great to see so many parents out supporting the students as they ran on Thursday. The weather was great and it was a fun day.
The day would not be possible without our volunteers who helped the day run smoothly. Thank you for helping.
Thank you also to Parties to Go for the balloon arch. The kids loved it.
With the help of sponsors, all students received a Jog a thon shirt. Thank you for being willing to help sponsor Gilham.
As a school we ran 5,214 laps. Great work Gilham. The pledge envelopes are due on April 21st, so continue to work on collecting pledges. Money raised goes towards supporting the cost of field trips, the cost of buses for the field trips, presenters, and supplies for the school. Our goal is to try to bring in $30,000. Let's see if we can do it.

A little story about our House Assembly. Thank you to our special guests for helping out.

Thank you Mr. Ethan. Gilham is lucky to have you

It was great to see so many Students and Families show up for Family Night. It was fun to see the students completing the Kindness challenge, taking pictures with the llama, reading books with the college athletes, and more activities. The Gilham Jaguar even made a surprise appearance. Thank you for supporting Gilham.
