Grapevine-Colleyville Independent School District -

School Librarian Appreciation Day is Saturday, April 4, and we want to thank our librarians for all they do for our students. They play a huge role in children’s academic success and help our students become lifelong learners. Comment below and show our librarians how much they are appreciated!

Grapevine Middle School held a Month of the Military Child celebration Wednesday, April 1, where students were honored by the campus and the Daughters of the American Revolution for their family’s service to our country. GMS is recognized by the Texas Education Agency as a Purple Star Campus for meeting the needs of military-connected families.

Today, our elementary schools showed their creativity as they prepped students for upcoming state testing with Rockin’ Review! These are high impact, engaging instructional strategies to review material learned this school year. The fun included decorating hallways to set the stage for review, “Glow Day” class time and a construction theme focusing on skills students “built” this school year. Way to make learning fun!

Today was Literary Lunch Day at GCISD elementary schools! This is a way that GCISD Nutrition Services connects the classroom into the lunchroom. One student per grade who chose a plate lunch was randomly selected to receive this month’s book, “If You Give a Moose a Muffin,” a silly and delightful story about a moose whose snack turns into a big adventure. A complimentary book is also provided to each elementary school library.

Last night, Trustees honored a number of students for their achievements:
💬 Colleyville Heritage High School and Grapevine High School UIL 5A Cross-Examination debate state qualifiers, including one team that placed 6th at state.
💯ACT perfect score recipient Carson Ramsey, junior at GHS who is involved in several academic organizations.
