Gentry Public Schools

Today is the National Day of Giving. There are many things that can be given other than money that are desperately needed in the world: love, kindness, hugs, smiles, encouraging words. We encourage the Pioneer Family to take time to give some of these important things today and everyday. Go Pioneers!

This week is National Inclusive Schools Week. Gentry Public Schools welcomes ALL students with the goal of ensuring ALL students connect, learn, and succeed. Go Pioneers!

We look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow at the regularly scheduled time!
