Gower West News

School is in full swing. We have had family celebrations, school celebrations, in-school field trips. Thanks to all our grandparents that were able to join us last night for bingo.

Please remember to wear blue on Monday to celebrate for International Day of Peace.

If you are new to Gower or you need a new size this is your chance to order your class color shirt.

These grade level shirts will be used many times throughout the year. They can be worn on Gower Gear Days, Field Trips, Field Day, and any other day of the year! Class colors will not change from year to year so, buy a size bigger than usual and your child may be able to wear the shirt throughout their time at Gower West!

The design on the shirt is the same but the color of the shirt will be different for each grade. Each T-Shirt will cost $10.

To order online visit https://gower62.revtrak.net/ click “Continue with Powerschool”. Click on

Processing fee applies when ordering online.

In celebration of International Day of Peace, your student has brought home a copy of a paper hand. Please encourage your student to cut and decorate their hand in a way that represents peace to show that “Peace is in their hands.” Please return the hand by Monday, September 16th.

At school, we will be celebrating International Day of Peace on Monday, September 23rd. Have your student wear the color blue as it represents peace and tranquility.

Join us for a night to celebrate Gower's many cultures. Experience the food, crafts, music and dances from cultures all across the world. Sign up to host a table or performance.
