DECA students from Grapevine High School and iUniversity Prep teamed up for an unforgettable field trip to the Dallas Mavericks business and basketball event! They got an inside look at professions in the sports industry, learned from top industry professionals and saw how business plays a role behind the scenes. They were also invited to stay for the Mavs game that evening.
Way to go, future business leaders! #WeAreGCISD

Yesterday, March 2, was Read Across America Day, but our campuses started celebrating last week. Bear Creek and Bransford Elementary kicked off the fun with a mysterious twist by introducing masked readers, staff members who read stories in disguise, keeping students engaged and guessing. Students had a blast guessing which teacher was behind each mask and matching them to their story!
📖 The celebration continues throughout the week, fostering a love for reading across GCISD! 📖

Grapevine High School AP English Literature and Composition class added rhythm to learning last week! Arthur Murray dancers came in for a two-day lesson to show how poetic meters could be paired with musical selections. The next day they danced out the meters, learning five dances in the process. What a fun way to learn how meters utilize senses and muscle groups to bolster retention when learning something new. Along the way, these students also gained greater appreciation for poetry.
GCISD Nutrition hosted Literary Lunch at Bransford Elementary, where Dr. Schnautz and Chef Jason read "Every Night is Pizza Night" to a cafeteria full of students eating... wait for it... pizza!

Be on the lookout for Dr. Schnautz and Chef Jason to be reading at your campus during another Literary Lunch in the future.
