From Mrs. Hubbard, Principal

Many years ago, 5th grade students won a reading contest and chose to put their principal on the roof of the school in a bunny outfit as their prize. It has become a yearly tradition because it continues to bring smiles to so many faces. Teachers and students enjoyed doing the bunny hop during lunch as well.

I hope all members of our Governor Winslow School community have a very happy Easter weekend!

This week at GWS...
