Please click here to view PDF

Pursuant to Section 11.154 of the Texas Education Code and Section 272.001(a) of the Texas Local Government Code, the Gunter Independent School District publishes this notice that the following parcels of surplus real property owned by Gunter Independent School District is offered for sale.

October was National Principals Month! We are blessed with principals in GISD who care for their students and work tirelessly to make sure their campus is a safe learning environment. Thank you to Mr. Davis, Mrs. Claunch, and Mr. Barton, your efforts do not go unnoticed!

• Thank you to the custodial staff for keeping our campuses clean. Each campus recognized their cleaning staff in a different way.
  

Thank you to EVERYONE who purchased merchandise at the campus book fairs in October.

• Sales at the elementary totaled $17,500 with a profit of $4,335.
• Sales at the middle school totaled $4300 with a profit of $935.

Both libraries will use their profits to add books to the library for our Gunter Tiger readers to enjoy.

A BIG THANK YOU to Navy Veteran, Russ Spears and the DALG Foundation for making our teachers wishes come true! Mr. Spears is a resident of Gunter and the founder of the foundation, "Do a Little Good". When he learned the teachers had wish lists during the book fair, his foundation granted each of those wishes and purchased the books that were still on their list unpurchased.

Russ Spears comes from a family of educators, and his mother was an educator and a librarian for a total of 30 years. All of the books purchased through DALG will have labels placed on the inside denoting the kindness of the giver and a dedication to Rebecca Russell, Mr. Spears' mother. The books will then be delivered to the teachers.

Do a Little Good is a non-profit Organization that is all about doing good deeds for people. The website is: https://dalg.givingfuel.com/good-for-kids

Thank you, Mr. Spears, for doing A LOT of good!

A BIG THANK YOU to the Ashton family for making sure each child at GES had the opportunity to purchase a book during the book fair. Reading opens up so many adventures and we appreciate you taking all students on a magical journey through reading.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to donate blood. HOSA helped the Texoma Blood Bank fill their shelves with 25 units of blood, which in turn, will save up to 75 lives.

• A huge thank you to the GES PTO and GMS PTO for helping us with the book fair at both campuses and the Grandfriends event at the elementary campus. Your hard work made everything go very smoothly.
• The GMS PTO organized a Butter Braids fundraiser contest and the 6th grade won by selling the most! Great job 6th Grade! Thank you to the GMS PTO for providing ice cream floats to the winning class.
• The GES PTO provided an awesome Tailgate spread for the elementary staff this month. It was all very much appreciated.
• The GHS PTO set up a Magical treat station for the teachers to fill a bag of candy on Halloween. There were also cookies and popcorn! Thank you for the Halloween surprise :)
• If you give a teacher an apple they’ll probably want some caramel and toppings to go with it... and that's just what the GMS PTO provided! Thank you for the caramel apple bar on Halloween!
  

Each campus has a wonderful group of parents who work together to help bring smiles to the teachers and students. Check out their Facebook page or contact information below to join them.

National School Lunch Week - October 14-18

October's menu highlighted some Pirate treasures and learning activities to celebrate National School Lunch Week. The cafeteria ladies always make this week fun with dress up days, guests, and displays.

October was Farm Fresh month and our cafeterias helped the students learn more about healthy food choices and local fresh foods. Thank you to these ladies for serving wholesome meals to our kiddos!

• At the elementary, Mrs. Jenny taught children some fun facts about Texas grown fruits.
• The high school students had displays to learn some fun facts about healthy choices
• True Harvest Farms came and talked to the students about their farm and growing procedures.
  

Construction Zone: Fencing has been placed between the middle and high school. Construction on the Gunter Bond 2022 projects is continuing and that area is not accessible to you. For your safety, please DO NOT enter that area.

While student safety is a year-round priority, National School Bus Safety Week is a time to remind everyone of the measures we must take to keep our bus riders safe. As part of the campaign, Gunter ISD Transportation conducted emergency evacuation drills to make sure our students understand how to safely evacuate a bus. We also shared posts and emails reminding our community to practice safe driving habits around our buses.

Driving 101 - Refresher on School Bus Lights

- Yellow flashing lights indicate the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. You should slow down and prepare to stop your vehicle.

- Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate the bus has stopped and children are getting on or off. You must stop your car and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop-arm is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving, before you can start driving again.

Patience is a virtue. Be patient while buses are turning. Slow your roll and don't try to go around them.. it's only a few seconds of wait time.

Congratulations to our first recipients of the True Grit Character Awards for the first nine weeks! These students have demonstrated resilience, determination, and perseverance every single day. True grit isn’t about what you’re capable of—it’s about what you’re willing to do, even when things get tough. It’s the drive to keep pushing forward, embracing challenges, and refusing to give up. These qualities are the foundation of success, both in school and in life. We are so proud of these students for embodying the spirit of Gunter Elementary’s ‘True Grit’!

Join us in congratulating our first-ever Crystal Apple Award winners! Joanna Martinez has been recognized in the ‘Teaching’ category, and Annie Wasson has been honored in the ‘Supporting’ category. This peer-nominated and peer-voted award celebrates staff members who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Joanna and Annie have set the standard for what it means to be a GES Tiger, demonstrating excellence, dedication, and a deep commitment to our students and school. We are proud to celebrate their outstanding contributions to the Gunter Elementary community!

On October 1st we hosted one of our favorite events of the year, Grandfriends! We loved seeing all of our students engaged in conversation with their grandparents or grandfriends while they shared a moment eating lunch together. We can only imagine what those conversations were about, but we do know they were priceless!

Thank you to the Gunter Elementary School Cafeteria staff for going above and beyond to make sure everyone was fed. We appreciate you very much. Thank you the PTO for helping to organize the event.

The book fair was the finale for this event. We appreciate all the love you showed by purchasing so many items. All proceeds will come back to our library to purchase more books. Check out our profits in the "Thank You" section of this newsletter!

We are excited to announce the students selected as our September and October Students of the Month! These students showed us they have the traits of a Tiger! They are natural leaders who confidently show others the best way to do things. They are focused, passionate and bring excitement to whatever task they are given. All of these traits show that each of these Tigers have TRUE GRIT in everything they do!

The annual Storybook Pumpkin decorating contest has become a fun family event!

Our hallways looked so festive, so thank you so much for participating.

Take a peek into some classrooms to get a glimpse of what our kids are learning.

Pre-K kiddos had so much fun on their field trip to Preston Trail Farms. Pumpkins and animals are the best way to celebrate October. We are so lucky to have this business in Gunter!

The Pre-K Students are learning to code using Frog-E. Frog-E is a programmable floor robot that comes with easy-to-navigate buttons for programming a series of up to 40 commands.

• Kindergarten started a labeling unit and practiced stretching out sounds to label their teachers. We love how our teachers interact in such a fun way with our kiddos!

• Community Helpers! Kindergarten students learned about the professionals that help our community in so many ways. Students were able to see what the inside of a police car looks like and ask questions about being a police officer.

Thank you, Chief Jones for visiting and making sure our littlest Tigers know what it means to be a police officer and how they can help them.

Mrs. Walden's students are getting smarter every day! In this lesson, they are working with "Part-Part Whole Fact Families". This is a math lesson showing that the two parts equal the whole. Students had to find the matching picture to complete the problem, and then write the addition and subtraction sentences.

Oh no! On Halloween the 2nd grade candy went missing!

Never fear... the 2nd grade sleuths from Mrs. Needum and Mrs. Walden's classes figured it out by moving through tasks to earn clues that eventually lead them right to the culprit!

While learning how to read, interpret, and make bar graphs, 3rd graders enjoyed the beautiful weather and created bar graphs with sidewalk chalk from data collected in the classroom. They included a title, their scale, categories, and made either a horizontal or vertical bar graph.

3rd and 4th grade students were excited to be introduced to High Tech High Touch. This is a STEM based program that brings hands on activities to the classroom. In this lesson, the students learned about electricity and circuits.

Thank you to the PTO for providing the resources to bring this program to our campus!

Hands-on Math in Action! Students dove into division by using manipulatives to explore arrays and remainders. This engaging, tactile approach helps students visualize how division works, reinforcing concepts like equal groups and leftover amounts.

Let the dreaming begin! Teachers toured the new elementary school to get a glimpse of the inside of the building. It is coming along nicely! We could see their minds churning as they mentally designed their new learning space. The plan is for the building to be open for the 2025-26 school year. We can't wait!

At Gunter ISD we know the importance of fostering relationships between all campuses. Younger students look up to older students, and those older students have a way of making the younger ones feel special. That is exactly what our "Senior Buddy Program" is all about... fostering relationships!

When a younger student looks up to an athlete, actor/actress, musician, or Academic UIL competitor for their performance outside of the classroom, imagine the impact the older students have when they walk into a classroom and show them that learning is just as important as the extracurricular activities. This program promotes positive behavior, social skills, and friendliness.

So what does the senior take from this? A lot! They are making memories they will take with them into their next adventure in life. They are giving back to the campuses that nurtured them as they climbed to the top of their educational ladder in high school.

All of this is what makes Gunter ISD and our community so great! Take a look at some of our buddies at work (or play)! Thank you to the students who volunteer for this program! You will never know the impact you are having on a child.

Congratulations to these students who were selected as the October Students of the Month. These Tigers are earning their stripes by staying focused, performing tasks stealthily, and pouncing on every opportunity to help their peers!

5th- Emma Stelly

6th- Christian Smith

7th- Noah Alfarue

8th- Ian Ramirez

Here's a glimpse of what is going on inside the GMS classrooms.

Coach Beville’s classes are identifying and describing common traits that describe various cultures through image analysis and discussion.

Coach Guice’s black light shared reading of Ronald Dahl’s The Landlady for opportunity to explore plot, theme, mood and tone.

5th graders in Mrs. Hough's classroom are working hard to multiply decimals by whole numbers in math. They used manipulatives to support their understanding of this concept. Students enjoyed working with the the objects, collaborating with their classmates, and engaging in some "math talk."

Students in Coach Parker's history class experienced different aspects of life on a Spanish mission in Texas. The goal was for them to not only experience mission life but to understand the reasons that the Spanish established missions and to understand the impact that missions had on Native American life.

Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. Hmmmm.... how can we teach this to our 8th graders? Mrs. King's students studied the Laws of Motion outside by playing kickball. Moving Ball+Kick=Motion! There is definitely more to it than that ... ask any 8th grader

The middle school Fall dance was a huge success! The dance was split into two sessions according to grade level: 5th/6th grade, and 7th/8th grade.All of the students had a great time dressing up, learning some new dance moves and just having fun with their friends.

Mr. Small's students had an awesome trip to the Gunter Police Station. Thank you, Chief Jones for giving us a tour and showing us the ins and outs of a police officer's duties. The students were excited to sit in the chair of a real police chief and he gave them stickers, candy, and answered all of our questions. The students had a memorable experience.

GHS Yearbooks and Senior Recognition Ads

Last day to order yearbooks before the price increases to $70 is Friday, November 15. This is also the last day to order and design your senior's recognition ad.

Take a peek inside some of our classrooms.

Ms. Mercado's Spanish beginning a unit on The Day of The Dead, and have created posters that depict the monarch butterflies and their significance with Day of the Dead.

Mr. Thornhill's World History students went on a scavenger hunt around the high school to identify influences that Ancient Greece has had on modern science, math, literature, and culture.

It was a beautiful day for a game of catch! Mr. Eaton tasked his students to design a protective barrier for an egg and now they are testing the strength of what they created by playing catch with the egg. We hope their designs held up, and that's no yolk!!

Just in time for Halloween! Art students at GMS have been diving into the spooky season with some delightfully eerie art projects!They’ve been studying Victorian architecture and incorporating those elements into haunted house designs. Alongside this, students explored the unique style of filmmaker and artist Tim Burton, crafting haunting portraits inspired by his work. These and many other works of art are on display at Gunter Middle School!

GHS Theatre took the stage at the beginning of October to present The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. The students worked hard and put on an amazing show, and the audiences loved it! With different audience members vying for a chance at the title, it literally was a different show every night! Thank you to everyone who came out to see it.

Theatre Tech students were each given an artist's depiction of a monster that they had to re-create as a stuffed pillow. The artists were students in our Pre-K classes, and they are always so excited to see their monster come to "life" (not really) in the form of a pillow!

Mrs. McGaughey and four of her students got up early on a Saturday to travel to the Texas Junior Thespian Festival! Mrs. McGaughey said, "These sweet girls sang Broadway tunes for the entire 1.5 hour drive there then took some super cool classes on stage combat, gory make-up, singing, and more! Then they sang for another 1.5 hours on the way home as we raced to make it back in time for their MS dance."

It is events like this that spark the desire to pursue a craft. The dedication it takes to be a Fine Arts teacher goes way beyond the classroom walls, and we are lucky to have Mrs. McGaughey!

The GHS Marching Band was busy this month! Not only are they playing music for us at the pep rallies and football games, they also participated in two events and one contest.

10/5 - Aubrey Marching Classic

10/12 - Celina Marching Invitational

On October 16th, they took the field at Celina Bobcat Stadium for the UIL Region Marching Contest. Thank you to those who came to cheer them on, and to OurGunter for taking photos during the performance. Although the band received a rating of 2 from the judges, we will always rate them #1 in our books!

Gunter FFA Members attended Ag Awareness Day at the Texas State Fair. Here, along with thousands of other FFA members, they visited college and career booths, saw opportunities in the livestock barns, and enjoyed special events for young agriculturalists.

Ava McComb and Tatum Myers competed at the Forney FFA Battle of the Blooms, where they were tasked with designing a flower arrangement within a time limit to fit the theme of the event. They designed Bridal Bouquets, then advanced to the second round, where they created arrangements in pumpkins. Only the top designers were able to compete in both rounds!

Homecoming Week is a time honored tradition that the entire community loves.

The week was filled with some fun dress up days that went along with our 2024 theme, Eras of Champions. We had so many great costumes on each campus!

The Tailgate on Wednesday is a community favorite. Vendors were on site with food, merchandise, spirit items, face painting, bounce houses, gift certificates and so much more!. The following vendors participated:

• First Baptist Church Gunter
• Addalynns Boutique
• DB breakfast and lunch
• Green Attics Heating and Cooling LLC
• Gunter Chamber of Commerce
• GHS PTO
• Grace Bible
• Board of Trustees
• GIFT

Thank you so much for supporting our event. Please support these businesses when you are looking for a service they might provide.

The Pep Rally brought the spirit! Cheers, songs, twirling with fire... WOW! The introductions of our Homecoming Court highlighted the 10 nominees. They looked great as they crossed Tiger Field.

All campuses dismissed early so the students could get ready to ride on the floats in the Homecoming Parade. Spectators lined the highway as 43 parade entrants passed by! Yes, 43! Thank you to the Gunter Volunteer Fire Department and Gunter City Police for helping to block the street for safety and leading the parade at a safe speed. You couldn't miss Mr. Martindale, GISD Superintendent, running through the parade in his golden suit passing out candy.The GHS Band and our awesome twirler marched with precision. The cheerleaders walked with their beautiful mums showing off their Gunter spirit. We had a variety of vehicles pulling floats from pick-up trucks to semis and even a tractor! Sports teams and organizations of all grade levels were represented. The Homecoming nominees were transported down the highway in style, waving and tossing candy as they passed by. Horses and classic vehicles ended the parade. By the end of the parade, our streets were filled with candy that the spectators picked up and filled their buckets!

Coronation took place before the kickoff at the football game. Our King nominees were proudly escorted by their mom or another significant person in their life, and the Queen nominees were proudly escorted by their dad or another significant person in their life. The nominees dressed to the hilt and looked amazing!

The 2024 Homecoming Court

Queen Nominees: Mackey Cox, Grace Dainauski, Chloe Johnson, Juliana Moore, Ella Pinkernell

King Nominees: Carter Balak, Bryce Biros, Brock Boddie, Mitchell Gage, Colin Peacock

Bryce Biros and Chloe Johnson were crowned as the 2024 Homecoming King and Queen.

Saturday night the GHS Cheer Boosters hosted a wonderful dance. Students had a great time getting dressed up and dancing the night away.

Thank you to everyone who had a part in making HOCO 2024 such a success.

The judges loved all of the entries in the parade! Thank you to everyone who worked so hard in decorating your float. The float selected this year to receive the Gold Cup Trophy was the 3rd grade flag football team. Their float depicted slogans through the years with Coach Fieszel pictured right in the middle of them. The team received a trophy and $100. Thank you to the cheerleaders for sponsoring this prize.

Gunter ISD is proud to celebrate Red Ribbon Week each year. Dress up days are fun, but we know that a costume is not what will stop the use of drugs. The themes are a jumping point to discuss the reasons how drugs can stifle your success story. A campaign like this can only open doors, and we can only hope our parents took advantage of the days to have those important conversations.

During the week we had kids dressed as their favorite movie star, their favorite Disney character, their future self, and then they had some fun with their Halloween costumes. There were also doors decorated, trinkets passed out, coloring pages, and so much more! It was a great week of sending the message to "write your script for life as a drug free scene"!

On Friday, October 25th before the football game, we had a very special award presentation given by Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, the legendary chronicle of Texas high school football since
1960. DCTF annually selects five student athletes from around the state to be spotlighted with
its prestigious Unsung Hero Award presented by Texas Farm Bureau Insurance. The Award
recognizes special young people who represent their team, school, family, and community in a
way that truly sets them apart. This year, one of those selected is our very own, Bryce Biros.

Thanks to the support of Texas Farm Bureau Insurance, Bryce will receive $500 in tuition
assistance to the college of his choice and will be spotlighted later this year during the UIL State
Football Championships in Arlington.

Presenting the award on behalf of Dave Campbell’s Texas Football was Texas Farm Bureau
Insurance Grayson County Agent, Darren Foster. Let’s give him a round of applause and
congratulations again to Bryce Biros!
