This Is The Gretna Way - https://tinyurl.com/yc794t7m

What is The Gretna Way?

It’s more than a phrase. It’s who we are and how we show up for one another.

It’s our students supporting each other. It’s staff members lifting one another up. It’s families cheering our schools on. It’s community members stepping in to help. It’s choosing positivity, finding joy, and making sure the people around us know they matter.

The Gretna Way belongs to all of us.

We asked members of our Gretna community what The Gretna Way means to them. We didn’t give them answers or tell them what to say. We simply asked them to share their experiences with Gretna Public Schools.

What they shared is a powerful reminder of the culture we have created together.

Our students feel it. Our families see it. Our community believes it.

As we begin another school year, let’s continue to support one another, embrace our imperfections, choose positivity over pessimism, find joy, and spread it every day.

Because we don’t do it alone.

We do it together. And that’s The Gretna Way.

Take a few minutes to watch the video and hear from the people who help make Gretna Public Schools such a special place.

A special thank you to Jacht for helping us capture the voices, stories, and spirit that make The Gretna Way so special.

6A team students worked on problem solving by putting together puzzles without knowing the final image.

Ms. Stenger's 6th graders were working to save "Fred the worm" yesterday in class. Good teamwork everyone!
