This Friday is our annual community service day. During their morning, our seniors have their senior breakfast and then go to our sending districts to participate in our graduation walk. Seniors should bring their graduation gown, but not their cap.

Friday night, we will host our Mr. Gateway Competition. This is a fun event and serves as our primary fundraiser for Project Graduation. Please see Mrs. Norton during lunches for tickets. In addition, our Home and School Association will be selling concessions, popular votes, candy grams, and 50/50 (Cash Only).

We are continuing Gateway's Adopt-A-Senior tradition this year! The goal is for every graduating senior to participate by filling out this form, and they will receive a special gift or treat to make the end of their senior year extra special! The form must be completed by Friday May 31st.

All interested parents and community members are invited to join the Facebook group if they think they may like to "adopt" one of the seniors. The list of students to "adopt" will become available in June.

Let's make this as successful as possible and show our Gateway Senior Class of 2024 our appreciation and support them on their future endeavors! If you have any questions, please reach out to Sharon Snyder sharonmsnyder21@gmail.com or Jenn Kiesel jennkiesel@comcast.net.

Graduation signs will be available shortly. The cost will be $25 each. Please email gatewayhasa@gmail.com

What do the Gators do on the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month? We get certified in Mental Health First Aid!

That's right. These fine seniors below who are headed into helping professions in education, healthcare and civil service are being trained by Mental Health Association in New Jersey, Inc.

Big thank you to Danielle Crawford and Dr. Kellie Slade from Rowan College of South Jersey who trained our students on how to recognize and find help for people who may be suffering with mental health issues. They led a fantastic interactive hands-on training for students today which will continue on Monday.

It's good to know we are sending some fantastic Gators out into the world trained and ready to be "boots on the ground" in helping professions.

What a fantastic experience we had at Gateway Regional School District this week when business leaders, educators and students gathered to celebrate the intern/mentor relationship.

We celebrated our 9th annual intern/mentor breakfast on Wednesday where students presented all they learned during their semester experience with their mentors.

The Gators are lucky to have such fantastic career leaders who welcome them, challenge them and support them in their career journey. Thank you to our 2024 companies:
