Our Gilbert PTO hosted Trunk or Treat at the elementary school this afternoon and it could not have gone better.

The weather was perfect, the crowd was big, and the costumes were fantastic!

We put together this short video from above to give you an idea of the crowd at one point. ...We also took plenty of photos, which will be out on Monday.

PTO, we cannot thank you enough for all of the amazing things you do to support our students and school district! And also thank you to all of the groups who hosted trunks ... they were all great! #GilbertPride #TigersTogether

Apologies for the delay, but hopefully it was worth the wait.

We have more than 220 photos from Friday’s regular season finale football game at Pella. The Tigers earned a 14-7 upset win to claim the Class 4A District 4 title and clinch a first-round playoff home game. We’ll host ...Waverly-Shell Rock on Friday.

Here are just a fraction of those photos. The entire gallery can be found at this link: https://gilbertschools.smugmug.com/Football-at-Pella-Oct-25-2024

Just a few quick postgame photos from tonight’s big 14-7 road win over previously unbeaten Pella. The win clinched the Class 4A District 4 title for the Tigers and should guarantee us a home game in the first round of the playoffs next Friday. Pairings will be out Saturday morning.

More... than 200 photos from the game will eventually be out, probably not until Sunday night.

What a night, Tigers! #GilbertPride #TigersTogether

We were back in Mrs. Ostrem’s sixth-grade science class today to see another group of students learn how to turn copper pennies into silver and gold.

OK, OK, not exactly silver and gold; silver- and gold-plated.

Still, a very cool experiment that students really enjoy every ...school year.

The pennies are mixed in a zinc chloride solution and the beakers are then placed on a hot plate. Stirring occasionally, after 15 minutes the pennies were removed from the solution, and if done correctly they were silver. Placing the treated penny onto the hot plate then turned them a golden color.

Thank you to Mrs. Ostrem for once again inviting us into her classroom to see this experiment. The kids’ eyes always get a little wide when they first pull the pennies out of the solution.

Mike Dolan at Shelter Insurance and Storybook Orchard in Story City — Thank you!

Mr. Dolan donated close to 100 pumpkins from Storybook Orchard to our students at Gilbert Intermediate, and the pumpkins were delivered to the school earlier this week.

Today, a drawing was held to ...give the pumpkins away to the students. All intermediate students who completed the October Leader in Action Challenge were eligible to enter the drawing.

The October Leader in Action Challenge asked students to write two to five sentences describing themselves as a leader and which of the 8 habits they were showing. They were also asked to draw a picture of themselves as a Leader in Action.

All of the students were so excited when the pumpkins were delivered, and a number of them helped to move them from the truck into the building.
