Congratulations to the GMS Lady Leaf Softball team on an incredible season. Our girls fought for 9 innings at the IESA Sectional Championship in Bloomington today, but fell short of going to state losing 3-2. #LEAFPride
GMS students had their initial Lego League practice this week and are preparing projects for their first competition.
Middle School students experience robotics, engineering, game design, flight simulators, Crime Lab and more in our innovative 8th grade module-based Sci Tech course.
Rain in the morning and inside recess is no problem at all. Northside students found a few ways to have a lot of fun. They started by creating a very long perfectly quiet "snake" line and then went into the gym to burn off some energy and have a lot of fun in the process.
GMS Softball Lady Leafs WIN IESA Regionals today in East Peoria! After a 7 inning pitching duel, our girls played incredible small ball and got the go ahead run with a sack fly in true team fashion. Way to go girls! Next step is the Sectional Championship this Saturday, go get em Lady's!
4th grade students are reviewing place value by playing Bingo!
Our school district is proud to recognize Mr. Randy Bormann, who was recently presented with a Maple Leaf Medallion by Superintendent Dr. Adam Brumbaugh.
As Director of Maintenance, Bormann was instrumental in ensuring the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems throughout our buildings continued to run during the record-setting heat at the beginning of this school year, allowing us to keep students in the classroom.
Now in his 21st year with District 228, Randy has overseen approximately $45 million in projects that have improved our schools, including the recent construction of the Career and Technical Education Center at GHS. Congrats on this long overdue honor, Randy, and thank you for your steadfast commitment to Teach-Learn-Care.
