As you have heard before, Gilbert Elementary is a Master School of Renaissance, and one of our many reading initiatives is Accelerated Reader. Each year we have a huge kick-off assembly and get our students pumped up about reading. This year our theme was "Reach for the Stars, READ!" We set a goal of 25,000 AR points for the school. We asked that our students dress up as celestial bodies or terrestrial beings to show school spirit. We had several activities during the assembly, including a costume contest, a game called Shooting Stars, and another called Doughnuts in Space. Theme music was playing, and we even had a visit from our Gilbert Gator. Our principal, Mr. Brad Hayes, showed his school spirit by donning the Gilbert Gator costume. A fun time was had by all.
