Local Business with Gilbert Ties Helps School Inspire Greatness
It was one year ago that Superintendent Dr. Christine Trujillo delivered the message to staff members that our district is stronger when we are together, and that’s when “The Power of We” was born.
The Power of We isn’t going anywhere, it’s still a necessary component to our long-lasting success. And the idea of Every Student, Every Day will always remain at the core of everything we do.
Now, through Dr. Trujillo’s message to our staff members at the kickoff rally earlier this month, we sprinkle in another idea that will continue to allow our district to thrive.
Inspiring Greatness.
By asking good questions and by truly listening to the answers, we all have the opportunity to inspire greatness in those around us — students, staff and community members, and our own family. That’s the message Dr. Trujillo delivered when she spoke to the staff, and you can learn more about that vision by watching the video below.
Clark Builders believes in that message.
A custom home building business that has been in the Ames area since 1949, Clark Builders has its own successful history with Gilbert Schools. Four generations of the Clark family have already graduated from Gilbert, and a fifth generation is on the way.
To support the school, Clark Builders recently donated $1,945 to Gilbert Schools to pay for t-shirts with the Inspiring Greatness logo on the front. The t-shirts were given out to all staff members at the kickoff rally as a way to show unity and support for Dr. Trujillo’s vision across the district.
“We did this because it’s a way for us to give back to the entire staff to show how much we appreciate all that they do for students,” Carrie Clark said. “We believe in family and we believe in this district and the people that are here. This is one way we could say thank you.”
We cannot thank Clark Builders and all of the local businesses that partner with Gilbert Schools enough for their unwavering support.
