Monday, October 13th is a holiday! See you Tuesday!

LUNCH BREAK ALERT - THIS FRIDAY !

What’s better than Chick-fil-A for lunch? Getting it delivered right to your kiddo at Gunn Junior High during their regular lunchtime! Each meal is $12 and comes with a Chick-fil-A sandwich, Soda, a bag of chips, and a cookie. It’s the ultimate lunchtime treat AND supports Gunn at the same time!

But here’s the best part—at checkout, you can also sponsor a staff lunch! Let’s show them some love and make sure they get to enjoy Chick-fil-A too. Don’t wait—grab your student’s lunch (and sponsor a staff member!) today!

Welcome Ms. Rhonda Armster

Ms. Armster joins us as a Special Education Inclusion Teacher. She has experience in Arlington ISD and has been working out of state until recently. We are excited to welcome her back to AISD and to Gunn JH!

Congratulations to our Students of the Six Weeks!
