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!

A few teachers around the district had some April fools fun! Mrs. Ostrem has a scientist of the month board that students help her decorate each month. These boys took it over today and made Dr. Doofenshmitrz from Phineas and Ferb the scientist of the day! Mrs. Weber brought the students brownies (brown E’s)!

On Tuesday, March 1st, 3rd and 4th graders were able to show off their music skills to a packed auditorium full of parents, grandparents, and community members. Students showed off different games they play in class, songs they sing, and instruments they have learned to play.

The students gave an amazing performance! Huge thank you to everyone who showed up, all the students for working so hard, and our amazing music teacher who put this all together!

In a letter to all district families, Gilbert Schools Superintendent, Dr. Christine Trujillo announced Mrs. Cindy Bassett has agreed to continue in her role as the principal of Gilbert High School for the 2022-2023 school year. Read more from Dr.Trujillo’s announcement.
