The students in our GIRESD Leadership Community are doing more than just preparing for the future—they are actively shaping it. Recently, our group has focused on cultivating the skills necessary to become impactful, productive adults.
Through collaborative brainstorming and passionate discussion, they’ve tackled three big questions:
What essential skills are today’s students currently lacking?
How can schools create more intentional opportunities to build those skills?
How can students use their voices to advocate for positive change?
This group is insightful, driven, and eager to bring these conversations back to their local districts. We couldn't be prouder of their commitment to making a difference!

Students in Mrs. Russell's elementary MiCI classroom combined speech and language therapy with science! Using the book, "Sneezy the Snowman," for inspiration, SLP Aubree Gregory made indoor snow using baking soda and shaving cream. Students built their own snowmen and then used vinegar to make them melt - just like Sneezy!

Congratulations to the students in Ashley Bontrager's class! They are the 1st place winners of the REMC Podcast Challenge. The students from Fulton High School created: “From Students For Students – Suicide Prevention,” a powerful, student-led podcast created for National Suicide Prevention Month. Through honest conversation and peer-to-peer storytelling, these students are helping break the stigma and remind others they are not alone.

"🗓️ Check the School Calendar! 🗓️
Know what’s happening at school! Check for holidays, half-days, and other events so you can plan ahead for the second semester and help your child stay on track. You can even ask for a printed calendar to hang at home.
