Gary Independent School District

Slight change to our baseball schedule this week. Today's game at home against Joaquin has not changed, with JV starting at 4:30PM and Varsity at 6:30PM. Friday's game at Shelbyville will be Varsity only and will start at 6:00PM!

We are aware that there are scheduled electrical outages for parts of Gary tomorrow. They should not affect Gary ISD’s main campus so school will continue as usual.

We hope everyone had a great Easter and can’t wait to see every one tomorrow! The Easter Bunny spent some time last week asking teachers some great questions about our GES staff, check it out here; https://youtu.be/o-C0FMZJMPI

Tonight's baseball game against Chireno has been moved and will now be played in Gary! The game starts at 6PM, and they'd love to see everyone there!

We apologize but our Pre-K Roundup event for tomorrow, April 2nd, has been cancelled. It will be rescheduled at a later date!

Today, students from Mrs. Creech’s Floral Design class had an exciting first as they competed in the Beckville FFA Easter Bunny Floral Cup Contest! 🌸🐰

Participants were given a selection of flowers and just one hour to design and create their own arrangement—completely independently. This marked the first time these students have taken on a full design challenge without guidance, and they rose to the occasion with creativity and confidence.

They had an incredible time, and we are so proud of their hard work and willingness to step outside their comfort zones. We can’t wait to see what they create next! 🌿✨

Congratulations to all of our Elementary students that were picked for Students of the Month for March! We love all the hard work that they are accomplishing here at Gary Elementary!

Let's cheer for our latest habit hero, Zoie, for being proactive and picking up trash around the classroom without anyone looking or being told to do so!

Yesterday members of the Gary FFA Horse Judging Team competed at the Henderson Invitational horse judging CDE contest. Emorie Comer, Emma Young and Braley Weems had a successful day as a team and Emorie was 1st place high individual out of 193 contestants! If you see these students congratulate them on a great day and wish them luck as they will be competing at Area next Monday.

Mrs. Creech’s Floral Design classes have been learning all about personal arrangements, and today they put those skills to the test! Students had the opportunity to let their creativity shine as they designed their very own boutonnières.
