We want to not only congratulate but also honor Gina Farmen as our November Support Personnel of the Month.
Gina is one of our bus drivers. Recently, she noticed her bus was in trouble as smoke arose from the engine area. She immediately evacuated her students. The bus went up in flames, like in a movie. Utter and complete destruction.
Everyone involved was safe, and Gina even walked each student home.
She is a true hero for keeping her kids safe and protected.
Thank you, Gina, for your hard work and dedication to our community.

Happy Friday GIS Families!
Next week is Homecoming week for Glenpool Public Schools and you're invited to participate. Join in the celebration and show up Friday to cheer on the Warriors! We've had several ask about dress up days next week and the answer is yes, GIS is participating (although Mr. Bell isn't thrilled about PJ day ;-)
Also, the ongoing fundraiser needs a big boost this weekend. We are still quite a distance from our goal and can really use your help. As an incentive, I'm going to do something I've NEVER done....if we meet our goal of $5000, students can wear school appropriate costumes on October 30th. Now it's going to really get crazy....if we can raise $7500.00, students can vote on costumes that Mr. Bell, Ms. Keho, and Mr. Dieker have to wear.
The fundraiser ends next Wednesday, October 8th. All envelopes and cash/checks must be turned in by last period on the 8th.
Good luck and have a great weekend!

Strengthening the partnership between our families and Glenpool Schools is one of our most important commitments. As Dr. James Comer wisely stated, “No significant learning can occur without a significant relationship.”
While the district provides many digital tools to help you monitor grades and track your child's progress, technology is only a tool. Nothing is more powerful than a one-on-one conversation about your student.
Meeting face-to-face gives you the chance to share insights about your child, while giving our teachers the opportunity to share how we can best support their learning. Parent-teacher conferences have started, but there is still time for you to schedule an appointment.
I strongly encourage you to schedule an appointment with your child’s teachers. Specific dates and times are available on each school site’s calendar.
Hope to see you at conferences!

Glenpool Intermediate and Elementary participated in the Folds of Honor Salute: Letters of Gratitude Project. Students learn about service, sacrifice, and gratitude and write letters of gratitude to the everyday heroes who protect and strengthen our community. GPS is proud to support the Red, White, and Blue!
Glenpool Intermediate School is starting a fundraiser today which will run until October 8th. We partnered with Century Resources to offer tasty treats via a physical catalog and online store. The catalog has only cookies but the online store features lots of other items, including candles, kitchen gadgets, snack mix, and much more.
