October is just around the corner and with it comes SOCKTOBER! GIS is inviting you all to join us in collecting brand new socks for those in need in our community.

Yesterday, students had a "browsing" day in which they got to preview all our school store items available! 👀
Students earn tickets throughout their day for demonstrating our 3 B's (BE Respectful, BE Responsible, and BE Safe). Opportunities such as following directions the first time, volunteering answering questions, and being kind to others!
Students will begin redeeming prizes with their tickets starting next Friday 🎟️
Today was our first Houses Team Building day! Students met up for a "speed dating" session to get to know their new teammates by asking questions about each other's interests, some "would you rather" questions, and even some special memories. Our House Teams consist of two different grade-levels on the same team. We loved seeing our older students model leadership for our youngers! Featured here is Guy, Garver, and Keller/Seng's Homerooms (Onraka 🧡), Talbott and Duckworth's Homerooms (Isibindi 💚), and Stinehour and Prince/Showecker (Amistrad ❤️)
