We have a family atmosphere here at GW with our Little Chiefs.

FAST FACTS

– For the 2024-25 school year, we moved kindergarten and first grade to GW and fourth and fifth grades to Hawthorne Elementary.

– Recently the board voted to add a much needed green space outside of GW, including additional landscaping was completed.

– GW hosts a 100 Days Celebration with games, a cake walk, face painting, refreshments and more.

– Birthday lunches are held monthly and students are honored monthly with awards.

– We host a Kindergarten Signing Day to celebrate when our Little Chiefs commit to join us!
