🏅 Battler of the Week 🏅
8th grader Declan Hanten is making big strides in Cross Country! 🏃♂️💨 He raced to a strong 15th-place finish at the Webster Invitational, helping the varsity boys team secure 4th overall.
His commitment in the weight room and summer training is paying off, with improvement showing every race. Coach Larson says, “Declan is coachable, determined, and always pushing himself to get better.”
Way to go, Declan—your hard work and determination are fueling Battler pride! ❤️🖤

Happy Friday, Battlers! The Kindness Café is a special project started by Izzy Mikkelsen, a junior at GHS. Izzy is leading a group of our high school girls in running their very own drink business!
At the beginning of each week, the girls pick 10 staff members to receive drinks. Then, throughout the school, they go face-to-face to take each staff member’s order from the café’s menu. On Friday, the selected staff members get their drinks for just $4 each. This project is about so much more than drinks—it’s teaching life skills like responsibility, teamwork, customer service, and money management, all while spreading kindness throughout Gettysburg School! The Kindness Café is proof that a little kindness (and a good drink!) can go a long way!

#WhyApply
Good morning. Due to rainfall amounts, the Battler Invitational XC meet for tomorrow, Saturday, Sept 20th, has been cancelled.
Mr. Jensen was a Mystery Reader in the Kindergarten class Thursday afternoon. The students loved his animated readings of Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes and Froggy Goes to School. They thought it was pretty cool to learn both Mr. Jensen’s dad and son are named Pete and that’s one of the reasons he likes the character so much.
2nd Grade has been studying how animals eat and what they eat. Last week we visited, Mocha, to see what he would eat first, carrot, spinach, or snap peas. We voted and they chose carrot and that’s what he headed to first! Thank you Kindergarten class for helping us with our observation.
GIA BIKE-A-THON NEXT WEEK!
Battlers, due to food truck changes, tomorrow the lunch choices will be chicken bacon ranch calzones and bbq rib sandwich. Friday will be pepperoni pizza and the ham deli sub. Thank you!
Have you seen our cross country athletes in their sharp new gear? We have Heien Seed, LLC. to thank for that! We are grateful for their full funding of new uniforms for cross country and track.
Battler fans, the Middle School boys football game has been moved up to 4:45PM in Onida this Friday. Please see the app or website and note the leave time changes for MS and HS. Thank you!
