The Superintendent's Student Advisory Council (STAC) kicked off the 2026–2027 school year with their first meeting!

GESD Superintendent Cindy Segotta-Jones welcomed the student leaders and congratulated them on being selected to represent their schools and bring their voices to the table.

Ericka Ciganek, Director of Social Emotional Learning and Mental Health Services, led a meaningful conversation about Start With Hello Week and how small acts of connection can help others feel seen, welcomed, and included.

Shannon Gleave, Director of Food and Nutrition, also shared information about the Arizona Healthy School Act and how GESD is working to provide nutritious food choices for students.

We’re excited for a great year with our STAC students! Great work, student leaders.

Sometimes, one word can make someone feel like they belong. Hello! 👋

We’re kicking off Start With Hello Week across GESD and our schools are going green to spread a simple message: everyone deserves to feel seen, welcomed, and connected. 💚

A hello in the hallway, a smile for a colleague, or a warm welcome for a family may seem small, but those moments matter. They remind our students, staff, families, and community that they are seen, valued, and welcomed. 🤝

So this week, look up, reach out, and say hello to someone you might not normally connect with. Because sometimes, making a difference starts with one simple word. 💬

This is what being looks like. 💙

This morning, 70 GESD students joined the annual Kohl's Back-to-School Shopping Event, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Glendale, Az, to pick out new clothing for the school year. 👕

A huge thank you to our GESD staff, community volunteers, Glendale Kiwanians, Apollo and Ironwood Key Clubs, GESD Board Members, Kohl’s and Spider-Man for helping make this morning so special for our students. Your support makes a difference! 🙌

Another great week of learning in the books! Have a great and safe weekend, GESD family. 💙
