Congratulations to our GDE Student of the Week! 2nd-grader, Lylah Youngblood, is our winner. Mrs. Jones said, "Lylah is polite, respectful, and eager to help her peers. No matter the place, she is always demonstrating qualities of a great leader. In the hall, Lylah can be found walking with a purpose and careful not to disturb others. When Lylah is in the library she listens attentively, raises her hand before speaking, and always stays on task. This week Lylah wanted a specific book during library checkout. She waited patiently, without interruption, while I assisted the students before her. Her patience and gratitude is always appreciated" 🥰 Woo-hoo, Lylah! #GrowingLionLeaders

Last night's Bikes, Books, and BBQ was a HIT! Thank you to ALL our GDE staff who made it possible and to our GDE parents and students who came out 🧡
This week and next week, 1st grade is taking turns going to a ONE ROOM schoolhouse! Some of our Lions said, "I can't believe this is what school was like in the 90s 🤯" 🤣🤣🤣
Yesterday, our school board came and ate lunch with our 1st graders! 😊 The chicken legs were good, but the conversations were even better! A BIG thank you to our school board for taking time out of their busy days to come and share a meal with our Lions. Happy hearts and happy tummies 🦁

In honor of our big reveal of the Brandon Burlsworth's permanent plaque installation at the Concession stands at tonight's home football game, student Michael Garett brought the "Greater" movie poster AND a special picture to school with him today. ☺ In the picture, is Michael's father - Garrett Grant.

Congratulations to our GDE Student of the Week! 1st-grader, Gavin Tims, is our winner. Mrs. Dodge said, "As Gavin was going home on car rider line he saw that a friend needed help opening a door and turned back to help them since I was calling names. He understood that I was busy at that moment and took the initiative to help out. This was above and beyond what was expected of him. He is a leader and shows so much kindness!" 👏 Awesome job, Gavin! #GrowingLionLeaders
Happy Monday GDE family 🧡 We are ready for an AWESOME week! #GrowingLionLeaders
