This is a fantastic story of school making a difference in its community. We support the students, teachers, and administration, who strive to better the lives of the students both in school, and in their home life regardless of the difficulties. I urge other leaders in the community to support the programs that have been started including providing uniforms, supporting the reading incentive program, providing athletic equipment, and supplying food for the week end backpack program.

Leadership, both in the Office and in the Classroom, at Gillespie Park Elementary School, is excellent. Students are welcomed and treated as people of unsurpassable worth. It's a combination of both love and high expectations. This school is excellent in every dimension. I encourage everyone to visit, volunteer, contribute in some way.

Gillespie Park is a beautiful school with a heart-caring principal for his teachers, staff and students. Great things are always happening at Gillespie Park. One of many things the principal stresses to his teachers, staff, students, parents and volunteers is that it's all about being able to work together on common goals and to share the success of everyone involved. The staff is always trying to find ways to build self esteem and confidence in all the children. Every child matters. Gillespie Park is a school where the children learn character and integrity, where they are nurtured and encouraged . The school reaches out to hard working families in these tough economic times by providing the Weekend Backpack Program and uniforms for the students, just to name a couple of things. Gillespie Park is all about making every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.
