Four of Gilbert’s very own counselors are in Kansas City this week for the annual conference of the American School Counselors Association.

There are more than 5,000 attendees from around the nation at the 4-day conference, as counselors have opportunities to expand their knowledge that ...will lead to better relationships and results with students in areas such as social well being, and career and college planning.

Attending the conference for Gilbert are high school counselor Jordan Sytsma, middle school counselors Hannah Gorman and Jenni Thomas, and new high school counselor Kimberly Huskey, who will meet our students for the first time when the 2024-25 school year begins next month.

Thank you to our counselors for carving out this time in the summer to attend and learn things that will have a positive impact on our students moving forward. #GilbertPride #TigersTogether

We've got tons ...of pictures in our online gallery, 127 in all, to be exact. Included in the gallery are these two photos, two of my favorite this summer.

The postseason, also known as the second season.

So far, so really good.

The baseball team traveled to Van Horne tonight and upset Benton Community, 2-1, in a Class 3A Substate 6 quarterfinal contest. The Tigers advanced to Monday's substate semifinal round against Saydel on ...the Eagles' home diamond on the north side of Des Moines.

Coal Myers was brilliant on the mound tonight, Ean Eldred delivered the key hit in the first inning that gave Gilbert a 2-0 lead, and Tommy McGuire made a tremendous (seriously, it was awesome) catch on a deeeeeeep fly ball to center in the 7th inning to help stave off the Bobcats.

Oh, and we have pictures! 110 of them, to be exact, and they're all available to view and download at the link below.

We'll see all of you for more baseball Monday night! #GilbertPride #TigersTogether
