I have had the chance to talk to so many members of the GFW community over the past several weeks. It has been an amazing experience to hear the passion from so many to learn more about what we are facing as a school district and what the future holds. With the April 11 election approaching, I wanted to highlight a few of the most frequently asked questions.

Melessa Henderson, author and former student of Mr. Leitheiser, spent the afternoon with PLS students on March 15th. The students were able to share with her books that they had written themselves. They were also able to ask her questions about being an author. Students' books were published at the MLC print shop by John Ring. They did an excellent job with their books and were able to share them on Tuesday and Wednesday with parents and friends who visited for Lutheran Education Week. Great job Mr.

While students were out last week, GFW held three professional development days for our staff, and we did some serious work. Most of our time was spent learning all about the new English Language Arts and Science curriculums that are on the horizon. Teachers are excited to have a variety of resources to help them become even better at what they do and truly provide opportunities for our students to grow into future world class leaders!

The GFW Community is amazingly passionate! We have heard from parents, staff, and students about what their priorities are for the future of our school district, and it has been an amazing experience. Watching our students become energized about participating in a process about something so important to them has been especially amazing.

Our students are awesome! You may have already known that, but it never hurts to repeat it. As principal, I get to connect with these amazing young people every day and what they are capable of never ceases to amaze me.
