Principal's Note On behalf of the Gleason Lake staff, thank you for all of your support and encouragement this year. This was a very unique year for our students, families and staff and I will forever be grateful for your understanding and patience during these unprecedented times. I feel fortunate to be part of such a caring learning environment and look forward to fall when we can hopefully return to a typical school year. Have a safe and fun-filled summer!
Farewell to our 5th graders who are moving onto middle school and to families moving away to different schools. We will miss you and wish you well in your future endeavors. Have a safe and fun-filled summer!
We Made It! Mary
