HIGHLIGHT
Way To Go!
Congratulations to Caesar from 4th grade. He had 100% attendance through the month of November. For his outstanding accomplishment, he was awarded a NEXT bike. From left: Caesar's mom, Mr. Painter, Caesar and Ms. Bruinsma. The bike was provided by Communities in Schools (CIS).
Walter V. Long Elementary School hosts a fall festival every year for hundreds of elementary students and parents. But for the past few years, they’ve had limited funds and little to no donations to make it happen. That was enough to prompt a kindergarten teacher to write the Surprise Squad. What happened next, was a sweet surprise. Thank you to our Squad partners United Nissan, America First Credit Union, & Albertsons/Vons, we gave them a sweet surprise!

The Heart of Education
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR
GATE TEACHER
KIMBERLEY SHIVER
"We have great teachers living right here in our community. These include educators who go above and beyond to put kids first and not only teach, but also inspire. They work tirelessly and never ask for recognition. As Beverly Rogers has eloquently said, “Teacher is not what you do, but what you are.” They are unsung heroes and deserve to hear more thanks from the people of Clark County." - Myron Martin, President and CEO, The Smith Center for the Performing Arts.
