🎶👏 Our combined middle school and high school choir has achieved something remarkable.🌟 In just 8 hours of rehearsal, they mastered two pieces of music, and on Saturday, they showcased their talent at Elitches. 🎤✨ 🚀 Their performance earned a Superior rating, the highest honor possible--clinching 1st place in their division! 🏆🎵 To top it off, they were honored with the ESPRIT DE CORPS award for representing their school the best, showcasing professionalism, and exemplifying respect throughout their performance. 🙌🎖️ A huge shoutout to our dedicated choir members for their hard work and passion and to Choir Director Jeff Hemingson for his commitment and inspiration! 🎶👏 Go Panthers!!

Second grade students at Summit Elementary enjoyed hands-on lessons about Teller County history from volunteers through the Ute Pass Historical Society. Local history is part of our second grade standards, and this field trip concluded a quarter full of learning about the people who built the Ute Pass area. This was a field trip to remember. We appreciate all the docents for making it happen, as our students enjoyed living the history.

🎶 This morning, the talented Colorado Springs Children’s Choral graced us with a clinic right here at Gateway, working alongside our amazing choir students. The harmony was nothing short of magical! 🎵✨ 🎤🎼 Join us at Columbine this evening, May 6th, at 6:30 PM for a combined elementary school performance and experience the joy of music brought to life by these incredible young voices. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a memorable night! 🌙
