Petting Zoo Fun!
Our Kindergarten students had a blast at the Petting Zoo, thanks to the amazing parents, grandparents, and friends who brought in animals!
We’re so grateful for your support — the students absolutely loved it!
So proud of Hudson in Mrs. Willman's class for earning the most AR points in 1st grade!
He racked up an incredible 230 points this year and was rewarded with a well-deserved Jimmy John’s lunch
Way to go, Hudson! Keep up the amazing reading!
Our 3rd graders had an amazing time at the park to celebrate the end of the school year!
Mrs. Schabbing's 5th graders wrapped up their literature circle books with a special surprise — mystery adult readers!
Each mystery reader from our school and village community read one of the student-selected books and joined us for thoughtful discussions. Students and guests shared their thoughts, reflected on lessons learned, and explored meaningful themes together.
In addition to reading, students completed a project to show their understanding of the book. Some even created detailed dioramas of key scenes — check out the amazing work pictured!
A huge THANK YOU to our incredible mystery readers for making this such a memorable and meaningful experience!

Kindergarten Adventures!
TGS kindergarteners took a fun-filled walk to the post office and Wessel's!
They learned how to mail a letter—from stamps to sending—and then enjoyed a well-deserved treat with slushies at Wessel's!
Learning and fun go hand in hand in our community!
Our thoughtful cooks baked up something special—delicious cakes to celebrate our wonderful retirees!
One of our retirees happens to be a longtime kindergarten teacher, so it was the perfect chance to spread the love to our kindergartners as well.
Big thanks to everyone who helped make the day extra sweet!
The countdown is ON in Mrs. Repking’s first grade class! To celebrate the final 10 days of school, students are popping a balloon each day to reveal a surprise activity inside!
Today’s balloon? A Paper Airplane Contest!
Students used their knowledge of lines of symmetry to design their planes, then tested their creations in a friendly tournament to see which flew the farthest. What a fun way to combine learning and celebration!
Special Visitors in Second Grade!
Officer Ritz and Deputy Dale stopped by our second grade classrooms to share about their important work in the community! Students got a firsthand look at a real police car and learned all about what it's like to be in law enforcement.
The visit tied in perfectly with their current book—Officer Buckle and Gloria—a story about a safety-conscious officer and his clever dog. Thanks to our guests for bringing the lesson to life!
Let’s end the school year with SPIRIT!
We’re thrilled to celebrate the final week of school with a fun-filled lineup of Themed Dress-Up Days! This is a great chance for students to get creative and show off their school pride. Here’s what’s coming up:

Let’s make this last week one to remember! All outfits should be school-appropriate. Thanks for your support and school spirit!
Student Council Supports a Neighboring School in Need
This week, the TGS Student Council proudly presented a donation to Neoga CUSD #3 to support their recovery efforts after a devastating tornado earlier this spring.
Through selling snacks to 6th grade students and staff during study hall, our students raised funds to help fellow students rebuild and recover.
We’re incredibly proud of their compassion, leadership, and commitment to community.
Storytime under the sun!
Mrs. Breer's kindergarteners and their amazing second-grade buddies teamed up for some joyful reading on the playground today. There’s nothing better than books, buddies, and a little fresh air!

Mrs. Mellendorf’s first graders celebrated in style last week with a “Buttered Toast” party!
After reading all six Mercy Watson chapter books, students honored the beloved pig’s favorite treat—toast with a great deal of butter! From daring adventures to laugh-out-loud moments, the class loved every page of Mercy’s delightful tales. What a fun and delicious way to celebrate reading!
What a show! Our kindergarten stars lit up the stage in "The Greatest Show on Earth"! From clowns to ringmasters, every moment was filled with laughter, joy, and pure magic. Huge thanks to our teachers, families, and little performers for making it a night to remember!
