As I mentioned at one of the awards banquets this week, coming to Gorzycki during this time of year has been awesome.  It has allowed me to celebrate all the wonderful accomplishments that have happened over the course of the year by students and faculty.

This week all those students participating in sports were recognized.  It was a great to see so many students being involved in sports.


The dance classes and teams also performed.  The Dance Team Spring Show is tonight for those that would like to come.


Orchestra had their End-of-Year Concert.  It was a fabulous show and there was even a piece performed by the full orchestra.


We have also been in interviews for 5 open positions.  I think you will find our new candidates to be experienced, energetic, and thrilled to be a Gorzycki.

The 6th graders celebrated with their End of Year trip to Alamo Draft House to view Back to the Future.  I heard the students loved it.  7th graders have their trip Monday and 8th graders go Wednesday.

Yearbooks were distributed and 8th grade lockers were cleaned out.  6th and 7th graders clean their lockers next week.  If you are missing items, please take a look in the "lost and found".  That pile is growing.

The Duke Award winners were recognized this morning with a breakfast.  These are students who scored exceptional well on STAAR.  They were asked to participate in taking the SAT/ACT.  Many of our students ranked in the top 3% of students, including the high school students!  This is an outstanding accomplishment and learning opportunity.

Gorzycki ended the week with their annual volleyball/basketball faculty/student games.  It was so much fun to see the heated competition.

Next week is going to fly by so have a fun and relaxing weekend.
