Whitetail Creek Elementary's 3rd graders turned history into a true spectacle today at the Wax Museum! Our young historians transformed into iconic figures like The Rock, King Tut, Amelia Earhart, Jacqueline Kennedy, and J.K. Rowling. Visitors pressed a button to bring these living statues to life and hear their incredible stories. It was a blast stepping back in time with such a star-studded cast!

Ahoy, Mateys! It’s National School Lunch Week!
We celebrated with the theme "School Lunch Pirates: Find Your Treasure!" 🏴☠️ Our amazing Food and Nutrition teams showed their school spirit in new pirate-themed shirts, thanks to a manager who went the extra mile to make the week special.
It was a fun-filled week, and GPS, along with our students, want to thank FANS for taking us on this high-seas adventure of good nutrition, where we discovered treasure in every healthy meal!
