Message from Mr. Fox

Thank you to our parents, students, staff, and community for making Homecoming Week such a success! It was wonderful to start some new traditions while bringing back some old favorites.

We are so fortunate to have a community that supports our students and shows such strong school pride. I am proud of our students for their spirit and hard work in making the week special, and I truly appreciate our staff for the extra time and effort they put in to make it all possible.

This celebration couldn’t have happened without each of you. Thank you for making Homecoming Week 2025 one to remember!

– Mr. Fox

🚍 Preschool Bus Safety Training 🚍 This week, our preschool students participated in a bus safety training led by our dedicated drivers, Jean McCune and Rebecca Wright. Students learned the importance of safe riding practices, including how to sit properly on the bus, enter and exit safely, and follow important safety procedures. We are grateful to our transportation staff for taking the time to ensure our youngest learners begin their school experience with a strong foundation in safety. Their commitment to student well-being is deeply appreciated. #GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool
