Thank you for supporting Gilbert Elementary!
Students and families enjoyed read alouds with Miss Mindy, Mr. Baker, and Mrs. Parks. There was plenty of laughter while trying to beat the record of Ten on Top with Mrs. Lerley, and students got creative making Hungry Caterpillar necklaces. We also shared some sweet treats with cake and ice cream.
The best part was seeing students excited about reading and heading home with books to enjoy.
Thank you to our staff and families who helped make the night so special. We love celebrating reading together as a school community! ❤️
At Gilbert Elementary School
We’re hosting a night that’s perfectly cool!
On March 3, 2026 — oh what a date!
From 5:30 to 6:30 — don’t be late!
We’ll read and we’ll giggle,
We’ll snack and we’ll share,
With stories and cake
And books everywhere!
There’ll be pages that zoom,
And tales that delight,
So bring a small blanket
To sit just right!
It’s FREE for all families — yes, every last one!
So come join the reading,
The laughter, the fun!
We hope you’ll be there,
We hope you’ll all look —
For a Seuss-tastic night
With a cake… and a book! 🎂📖✨
Parents and family members lined the lobby, greeting students with cheers, smiles, and so much excitement as they arrived at school. It was incredible to see how their presence instantly brightened our students’ day and filled the building with positive energy.
We are so grateful for our active, supportive community. Thank you to everyone who showed up and made this morning so special for our students! 💙
We invite you to line up inside the lobby at 8am to give our students a warm and enthusiastic welcome as they arrive to school. Let's make their morning special!
Once students are in class, come to the gym for a coffee to go before starting the rest of your day. We can't wait to see you!
Due to the incoming storm, all Augusta schools and administrative offices will be closed Monday, February 23, 2026. This will be a traditional snow day, not a remote learning day.
Did you know GIlbert School offers the one-of-a-kind Girls on the Run program for 3rd-5th grades? Not only does Girls on the Run inspire kids to set and achieve movement goals, but it unlocks confidence and compassion in girls when they need it most.
Join us from March 30th May 31st on Mondays and Tuesdays from 3:00-4:30
