Here are some highlights from the Cream Puff Volleyball game. The seniors won the competition for the battle of the classes and will take on GFW staff on Friday at the Homecoming Pepfest!
Question 2 is all about putting resources where they have the greatest impact - our students.
Even vacant buildings require ongoing spending for utilities, insurance, inspections and maintenance. By removing aging facilities that no longer serve educational needs, we can focus resources on safe, modern learning environments that support student success.

Students in Mr Dela Cruz's Precalculus class recently presented their outputs on applying equations to real-world situations involving item costs, discounts, and taxes.
They did a fantastic job demonstrating their understanding and connecting the mathematics to practical, everyday scenarios while putting lots of work into their presentations!

The GFW Homecoming Meet the Candidates event was full of fun! Our candidates got to participate in different activities, with the big hit being "guess the drink," in which one of the options was bone broth. There will be lots more homecoming fun coming this week!
Congratulations to the GFW Middle School Students of the Month for September!
Our students are preparing for a future that changes every day. To succeed, they need access to learning resources that keep pace with the world around them.
The moment a history book is printed, it becomes outdated. That’s why many of our curriculum resources are delivered through online subscriptions, giving students and teachers access to the most current lessons, information, and educational tools available.
By investing in modern learning resources, we’re helping every Firebird build essential knowledge and confidence for the future.

Get a closer look at Question 2. The second school district ballot question is all about investing in students instead of empty buildings.
By demolishing empty buildings that no longer meet instructional needs, this plan allows the district to focus resources on safe learning environments rather than empty square footage.
The district is requesting $3.2 million in bond funding to address the demolition of aging facilities that are no longer needed for educational purposes.

Student safety comes first - on campus, in the classroom, and on the road.
Question 1 focuses on safe buses, reliable transportation, and updated safety features to help ensure every Firebird arrives at school safely, on time, and ready to learn.
By maintaining and replacing aging buses and transportation equipment, we can continue providing dependable transportation for students every day.

Students at GFW Elementary practiced their bus safety drills today. Way to go!
A closer look at what's on the November Ballot:
Why is Question 2 contingent on Question 1?
The two questions address two very different financial needs - but the order is intentional.
Question 1 addresses transportation, technology, and curriculum. These are ongoing expenses that will continue to affect the district’s budget for years to come. Whether Question 1 passes or fails, buses will still need to be replaced, technology will still need to be updated and curriculum will still need to be purchased.
Question 2 addresses a different issue: buildings we no longer use and that were not intended to remain part of the district’s long-term operating model.
Simply put: before we address the buildings we no longer use, we need a sustainable plan for the ongoing needs of the school district we’re operating today.
That’s why Question 2 is contingent on Question 1.
