It was a great day seeing all the students and staff members in camo to start off our Red Ribbon and Fall Festival week! We can't wait to see everyone as their favorite tv/cartoon character tomorrow!

Connally and Colston Cranford competed in State Fair of Texas during fall break.
Both boys placed in the top 10 with their lambs. Connally also placed 3rd and Colston placed 4th. Colston also placed 5th in the Junior showmanship division.
The boys also recently competed at the Heart of Texas Livestock Show with Layne and Layton Thomas and Madelyn Tinkle.
Connally placed 2nd with his finewool.
Colston placed 4th with his cross.
Layne placed 4th with his medium wool.
So proud of all our Gary ISD kids and the hard work and dedication it takes to raise an animal.

Our latest Habit Heroes are Kasen, Lane and Benton! Kasen was proactive and helped clean a messy area so others wouldn't get hurt. Lane was thinking win-win by finding solutions to help clean an area with an older student, and Benton has consistently put first things first by completing his classwork before playing and has been the classroom leader in assignments for the last two weeks!
