On March 5th, 2022 there was a devastating tornado that hit Winterset Iowa. All of the Gilbert Community Schools hosted fundraisers to try to raise money and/or supplies for the citizens of Madison County.
We hosted a hat fundraiser where students could pay $1 to wear a hat for a day. We also held free will donations for supplies for the Winterset community.
We were able to donate a total of $2,394.60 as well as 3 full totes of supplies for the community!
We wanted to share this with you all and thank you for the donations! We could not have done this without your help!
The Intermediate school was planning on celebrating “Twos day” on Tuesday, February, 22nd, 2022 (02/22/22) with a twins day for students. Due to a snow day on Tuesday, we pushed our celebration to Wednesday!
Students were so excited to match with their friends!
Leader In Me is a framework that teaches students what leadership means and can look like. Leader In Me teaches students 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and 5 Core Paradigms to see leadership in a different light. At Gilbert, we give the students different opportunities to show leadership with different committees. Every month, students have the opportunity to apply for a different leadership role! The leadership roles can range from Door Greeter, to Office Assistant, to Photographer, and anywhere in between.
Mrs. May is in charge of the kindness group for Leader In Me. She had her students work on a thank you card for the bus drivers for all of their hard work they do for our district. On February 14th, we delivered this card to the bus barn and gave the bus drivers a little treat.
We really appreciate everything the bus drivers do for our students. Be sure to ask your student about their leadership roles. To learn more about Leader in me, click here!
