Third graders had a fabulous time on our field trip Thursday where they learned about the history of Ephraim! They got to use old tools, learn in the Ephraim School House, and visit Anderson Dock. Thank you to the Ephraim Historical Society for having us! #gibraltararea #gibraltarelementary #gibraltar23
Today first graders learned about the skills needed when collaborating to build cup towers. #gibraltarelementary #gibraltararea #gibraltar23
These two ladies had their names drawn from turning in their Viking Values Summer Challenge Sheet at the beginning of the school year! They chose to shadow the principal for part of the day. They spent yesterday afternoon with Mrs. Ward - checking off a list of principal duties (Checking in with Officer Bemmann, Nurse Becky, and Mrs. Petrie, visiting a classroom, and watching for Viking Values on display). #gibraltarelementary #gibraltar23
This just in...Gibraltar 4th graders won their first game against Algoma 12-2 last night!!! Congratulations! #gibraltarelementary #gibraltar23
Putting Faces to Names - Hello! My name is Jen Gallagher. I am so excited to be teaching 4th grade at Gibraltar Elementary! I started substitute teaching at Gibraltar after we moved to Fish Creek in 2021 and then was support staff last school year. When I am not teaching, I enjoy many outdoor activities with my family - like hiking, skiing, and mountain biking. I feel so lucky to call this beautiful place home and I am looking forward to a great school year!
On Wednesday, our elementary students sat in our makebelieve hallway bus while Principal, Mrs. Ward, covered Viking Values on the bus:
*Hi
*Sit
*Ride
*Bye ( and thank you)!
They then boarded a bus where Transportation Director, Rob Rericha, spoke about those expectations in action. Student Resource Officer Bemmann then helped students disembark from the rear of the bus as students completed a mock emergency exit. #gibraltarelementary #gibraltar23 #bussafety
Ms. Krause's 2nd grade class chose roles and acted out a part of the book, "The Invisible Boy" by Trudy Ludwig. Have you ever tried Bulgogi!?
Trash Pickup was sponsored through the Ecology Club on September 17 at Nicolet Beach. Great job everybody!
In a world where students with outstanding academic achievements or success in athletics are consistently recognized through awards such as honor roll or conference/team awards, we often hear people say, “What about the kind students?” At Gibraltar, we certainly value kindness and believe that it is one of our core values as a secondary school. As such, our HS Peer Leaders and PBIS committee nominate a "Kind Student of the Month" who has access to a pristine parking spot in our lot for one month. Juniors and seniors are considered. Our September Kind Student of the Month is Samara Jauregui!
A wonderful moment with Gibraltar's SRO Bemmann! #positiveinteractions #gibraltarelementary #gibralter23
Putting names to faces...
Hi! I'm Cindy Phillips, the Gibraltar Elementary School Administrative Assistant. I started working as a substitute teacher at Gibraltar in 2001 and have been in my current position since 2014. I am married and have two children, both Gibraltar graduates and a 3-year-old grandson😊.
Prior to moving to Door County in 1993, I managed hotels in the Chicago area. I feel extremely fortunate to live in Door County and be a part of the awesome Gibraltar community!
Gibraltar is so fortunate to have Mrs. Phillips at the helm of our Elementary Office!

Have you ever called or stopped into the secondary office? You likely spoke with Mrs. Kathy McConkey!
She is our Secondary Administrative Assistant and reports doing a little bit of everything including, but definitely not limited to: office work, helping students, attendance, and facilitating schedules/events so the Secondary runs smoothly.
Mrs. McConkey was hired in 1995 she subbed for many years, and she has been in this position for 9 years.
Fun Facts: She loves to Fly Fish. And she won a National Rolling Pin Throwing Contest in Vermont when she was 13... impressive!
Mrs. McConkey says her position is so enjoyable because: "The relationships I have built with students and staff are what mean the most to me."
Gibraltar is so lucky to have her at the helm of the Secondary office! #gibraltar23 #gibraltarsecondary
Putting Names to Faces:
Hello, I'm Kim. I'm an LPN here in the district 2 days a week, typically (You'll see the other nurse in a later post)! This is my 4th school year getting to travel to Gibraltar. I usually spend the rest of my week at the Sturgeon Bay Schools, but also get to travel to Sevastopol and Southern Door occasionally as well. I have been an LPN for 19 years, some of the other areas of nursing I have been in: long term care (geriatrics), rheumatology, and right before making the jump to school nursing, I was in the orthopedics department at DCMC. My favorite thing about school nursing is all the bonds we get to create with students. And let me tell you, there is no one more honest than a child, so if they say "Thank you" they mean it!
A special thank you to FOG and all of the businesses and parents who donated to our Staff lunch last week! #gibraltar23 @friendsofgibraltarschools
