February is Career & Technical Education Month! This is also known as CTE. Even at the elementary level, our students at GBE are being exposed to future careers and career exploration! If you'd like to explore a free resource for career preparation, visit Xello via your child's Rapid Identity portal. This program will allow your child to take a quick assessment to see what future careers they may want to explore!

Thank you to the Blue Anchor Belles for joining us for a school wide assembly to conclude Literacy Week! 🇺🇸 They shared books from different decades as we move through the chapters of American history, as well as sang songs as we celebrated America! 🎶 What a great way to end the week! Who are the Blue Anchor Belles? ➡️ They are a group of Military wives who love to sing and provide music therapy to veterans and their families. They create unique three-part harmonies for beloved WWII-era music, bringing the top hits from the 40's and 50's to all generations. 🎤
