💚✨ "Because we knew you... we have been changed for good." 🎭

We wrapped up Teacher Appreciation Week with a Wicked-ly delicious pizza lunch for our incredible Gates staff! 🍕 From sidewalk messages and snacks to succulents and sweet treats, we hope every teacher and staff member felt just how loved and appreciated they are. 🌟

Special thanks to our wonderful community partners:
👕 West Anna Boutique – for the fabulous Gates t-shirts everyone adored!
🍕 Wave Pizza – for fueling us with delicious pizza today!
🍩 Paradise Donuts – for the perfect start to our wild Thursday morning!

And THANK YOU to all the parents, students, and volunteers who helped make this week so magical. 💫

Now, go click your heels (or tap your ruby sneakers) and enjoy a restful weekend—you’ve earned it!

☕️🍩 Oh what a morning! Even Elphaba would've needed a second iced coffee today! 💚

Between GIPD's seatbelt checks causing some traffic madness, and one of our little helpers accidentally dropping an iced coffee (whoopsies! 🫣), it was quite the adventure getting today’s Coffee & Donuts to our amazing staff!

Huge thanks to the kind souls who helped carry supplies and held doors—we truly have the most Wicked-ly wonderful community! 💫

Tomorrow is the grand finale of Teacher Appreciation Week—don’t forget to wear GREEN to show your love for our incredible staff! Let’s send them off into the weekend defying gravity! 💚🧹

Your impact goes far beyond the classroom, and we’re so grateful for everything you do!
