21st Century Charter School at Gary

We’re celebrating a great week of learning and growing at our Lower Elementary Campus! 💙

From our Student of the Week showing off their superhero spirit 🦸 to our PreK scholars learning, exploring, and building new skills during centers, our students are always finding ways to shine! ✨

Every day is an opportunity to learn something new, use our imagination, and be a superhero in our school community! 📚⭐

Keep shining, scholars! 💪🎉

I was able to visit every classroom today to personally hug every staff member and leader. I’m super grateful to everyone! You made a difference to more than 750 students today.

To say it was an emotional day is an understatement, too. The students were engaged, learning, and happy. Staff shared they were glad to be back at work and getting a bit of normalcy back in their lives. Not one complaint. Wow!

We even had two teachers start this week. Yvonne started yesterday. Jasmine started Wednesday. Who starts a new job in this climate? They do! And they were happy to be serving our children.

Our staff are clearly special people. Heroes!

They put the needs of our families over their own. I’m super proud. We are all blessed!

Our staff are heroes!
