Last week, Gilkey Elementary held their October Student and Staff of the Month ceremony. Each month, Gilkey teachers select one student and a staff member who they felt did an outstanding job throughout the month. In October, the staff and students who were selected did an awesome job being responsible. Way to go, Geckos!
