We are excited to welcome Ms. Nora Guillén to the Gunn team as our new Assistant Principal!

G.A.T.O.R.S.

🎉Calling All Gunn JH Families! 🎉

WE NEED YOUR HELP BY SEPTEMBER 12th !!

Let’s team up to shower our amazing teachers and staff with love all year long!

We’re launching our Gunn G.A.T.O.R.S. (GIVING ATTENTION TO OUR REMARKABLE STAFF), and we want YOU to be part of it! Our goal? To make sure every staff member feels the gratitude they deserve for the heart, hustle, and dedication they pour into our kids every single day.

Here’s how it works:

✨ Each participating family will be matched with a staff member. Think Secret Santa but all year long.✨ You’ll receive their wishlist so you know their favorites.

✨ During special appreciation weeks, you’ll surprise them with a small token of thanks—think $5–$10 and a heartfelt note! No need to break the bank—just a sprinkle of kindness goes a long way. 🌟 We’re aiming for 100 families to sponsor 100 staff members, so grab your spot and spread some cheer!

Not a fan of shopping? No problem! You can donate, and the fabulous Gunn PTA will handle the gift-giving magic for you. Let’s make this year unforgettable for our incredible staff—one smile at a time! 😊
