We’ve had a wonderful time welcoming students at all four of our schools through back-to-school events. In addition to open houses for families at each school, our custodians and ground crews have been working hard to prepare our buildings for the arrival of students.
For example, Kraxberger Middle School students are returning to see Bulldog purple paint in many new areas, such as the flashing on the outside of the building, interior support pillars and a stripe down the main hallway.
Students have been lending a hand in some of these projects, such as the parking spots that got a Gladiator makeover as students brought their creativity to one of our favorite Gladstone High School traditions.
The back-to-school open house was on Aug. 27 for John Wetten Elementary, and the Gladstone Center for Children & Families had another open house for incoming kindergarten students on Sept. 3. At these events, students and families have the opportunity to connect with many local resources, including the Gladstone Education Foundation and First Student bus services.
