🐣🏠 Easter Fun in 1st Grade! 🏠🐣
Mrs. Dennison and Ms. Tonia’s 1st grade class had a blast building their own “Easter houses” today! Using jellybeans and toothpicks, students got creative while practicing teamwork and problem-solving.#GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool
5th Grade iReady March Mathness!
Our 5th grade students brought the excitement of March Madness into math class with our iReady March Mathness contests! Students competed both individually and by homeroom to see who showed the most growth in math from the beginning to the end of the year.
Each homeroom celebrated a top student for their hard work and progress, and one homeroom came out on top in our 5-category bracket—winning a well-earned pizza party!
Congratulations to Mrs. Frashure’s homeroom for taking the overall win with an incredible 114% growth!
Shoutout to our individual winners: Ken Grilli, Whynter Moss, and Rayden Tomblin!
We are so proud of all our students for their dedication and growth—way to go, 5th grade! #GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool

🩺 A Message from Nurse Whitney
National Poison Prevention Week is March 15–21, 2026.
This year, the West Virginia Poison Center is highlighting the theme “Little Hands, Big Curiosities.” Children are naturally curious, and everyday items such as medications, cleaning products, cosmetics, and even plants can pose a poisoning risk.
Many poisonings are preventable. Families and school staff can play an important role by helping children learn safe habits and understand which items are not safe to touch or consume.
We encourage families to take a moment to review poison prevention tips and helpful resources provided by the West Virginia Poison Center.
Together, we can help keep our students safe! 💙 #GoGilmer #LoveMyWVSchool
