Reminder for next week, GSD family! 🌟 All Gulfport School District schools and administrative offices will be closed next Monday, September 7, in observance of Labor Day, as we honor and thank all the hard-working individuals whose dedication builds and strengthens our community every day. Have a great week ahead and get ready to enjoy a safe, restful, and well-deserved long weekend! 💙⚓ Regular schedules will resume on Tuesday, September 8.

We are so thankful for our community partner, Lynn Meadows Discovery Center! On Tuesday at Twenty-Eighth Street Elementary, Mrs. Bond’s Quest class had a guest speaker from Lynn Meadows Discovery Center come visit them and explain the history of Lynn Meadows. Mrs. Cindy DeFrances shared old photos, posters, and timelines to better help our students understand how Lynn Meadows Discovery Center came to be! She even shared upcoming projects that the discovery center is currently working on and events that are coming up that our students can enjoy with their friends and families. Mrs. Bond’s gifted students can’t wait to use all of this information gathered on their upcoming research project! Thank you Mrs. DeFrances and the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center for this very captivating history presentation.

Big congratulations to Gulfport High School’s Caleb H. and Maliyah L. for attending the Trent Lott Leadership Institute Summer Camp at the University of Mississippi! 🏛️✨

Caleb and Maliyah spent their summer building leadership and civic engagement skills, representing both GHS and the Gulfport School District with excellence. We are so proud of these outstanding student leaders! 🌟

Repost from BVMS: Recently, Mr. Morningstar’s 7th-grade U.S. History students worked in groups to research and present their 13 Colonies project. Each group focused on one of the three colonial regions—New England, Middle, or Southern—and shared what they discovered with their classmates.
We love seeing our students take the lead, collaborate, and bring history to life through their presentations! 👏

📚 Making Main Idea Stick! 📚 Ms. Micele at BVE brought learning to life with a simple but powerful visual! While teaching main idea and key details, she used a chair to help students see how strong writing is built. Just as a chair needs its legs for support, a main idea needs strong, relevant key details to support it. Without that support, the writing—or the chair—just doesn’t stand as strong! We love seeing our teachers turn important reading and writing concepts into concrete, memorable learning experiences for students. Way to make learning meaningful, Ms. Micele! 💙🧡📖 Strong main idea + strong supporting details = strong writing! 🪑✏️🌟

Repost from WLOX: 18 Gulfport High School seniors started the “Next-Gen Shipbuilders” program this week, a partnership between the school and Bollinger Shipyards.
The yearlong course takes students out of the classroom and into Bollinger’s training center. It exposes them to several shipbuilding trades, including welding, pipefitting, ship fitting, and marine electrical.

Day 1 in the books at the Bollinger Shipyards for the Next Gen Shipbuilders ⚓️ After completing a full week of safety training, our students officially received their PPE today and jumped straight into hands-on welding techniques. The energy at the new Bollinger Training facility was off the charts—our students couldn’t wait to get their hands on the welding torch! This is real-world experience. This is Work-Based Learning in action. #AnchoredInExcellence #AdmiralProud #WBL #Shipyard #SkilledTrades Click here to watch the video: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/1CK7AXzTjD/?mibextid=wwXIfr
