Happy Easter: The entire Justus Gage Staff hopes that everyone has a wonderful Good Friday and Easter Sunday with their family. Safe travels to all and enjoy the wonderful weather this afternoon.
Spring Testing Window and Info: As a reminder we are currently in the middle of our Spring Testing Window. All k-5 students will also be taking the NWEA tests and K-2 students will be completing their i-Ready testing. As always, please remember that your children need adequate sleep and healthy breakfast. If you would like for your student to eat breakfast at school, please make sure they arrive by 8:30. We never want a child to feel rushed on any school day, especially on test days!

Art Work Presentation/Exhibits: Thirty-five Justus Gage art students were selected to display their artwork at the Box Factory for the Arts community student art show which included twenty-six area elementaries from Cass and Berrien counties. One student from each school was selected to receive an award and art scholarship. The winner from Justus Gage, for his oil pastel owl, was fifth grader, Uriel Cortez!
The Box Factory elementary art reception included a memorial for art teacher, Gloria White. A memorial in her honor is being created in collaboration with her daughter, Water Street Glassworks and the Krasl.
