And they're off!!!! Best wishes to our state XC competitors tomorrow. Here we GO BATTLERS! ❤️🤍

The high school student council hosted a pumpkin carving event this past Tuesday. Students enjoyed carving, scooping seeds, and creating unique designs!

🎉 That’s a wrap on 7th Grade FACS! 🎉 Half of the 7th Grade class has officially wrapped up their 9 weeks in Mrs Langer's FACS class! Throughout the quarter, students have been busy learning valuable life skills and putting them into practice! 💵 Money Skills: Students learned how to correctly count back change, and some have already put those skills to use while working in the concession stand! 🧺 Laundry Basics: From sorting and washing clothes to learning how to iron, students gained skills they can use at home. 🍳 Kitchen Skills: Students learned their way around the kitchen, practiced kitchen safety, and put their cooking skills to the test by making grilled cheese sandwiches and pancakes! 🍩 A Sweet Ending: We wrapped up our 9 weeks with a trip to Langers, where students got some hands-on experience making donuts! It’s been a fun 9 weeks filled with learning, laughter, and plenty of hands-on experiences! The best part is seeing students take what they’ve learned in the classroom and use it in everyday life. Great job, 7th graders! ❤️🖤

He will be wheelchair bound for the next 4 weeks. Corbin, a former student at GHS, was diagnosed previously with Guillain-Barre Syndrome and had another flare this fall. Let's show up Gettysburg!

🏈 BATTLER OF THE WEEK 🏈 This week, we’re recognizing junior Jack Simon! Jack found the end zone FOUR times Friday night and racked up over 300 all-purpose yards! His effort with the ball in his hands was matched by a dominant defensive performance, showing his nose for the ball and ability to finish tackles. Week after week, Jack shows why he’s a team captain. He leads by example, plays with relentless effort, and gives his team everything he’s got. Congratulations, Jack, on a true Battler performance! 💪 #BattlerOfTheWeek #GettysburgBattlers #BattlerPride
