GIBBON — The Gibbon Fairfax Winthrop School Board removed a resolution for a centrally-located future preschool-12 building project Monday.

Building site requirements included municipal utility connections.

Superintendent Jeff Horton said the board will consider the resolution at a future meeting.

Horton said retiring staff were honored at the meeting. Retirees included fifth-grade teacher Maren Briard, 34 years; and paraprofessionals Jean Bode, 32 years and Julie Grunke, 12 years.

“As a retirement gift, we’d like to offer you a chance to travel. Take a GFW school bus driver application,” Horton said.

The three retirees took the applications.

Approved district donations included $250 from James & Holly Beasley for the Nolan Majeski scholarship; $250 from Guidecraft for Thunderbird Community Arts; $100 from Chuck and Joyce Firle to Thunderbird Community Arts, $50 from Nathan and Jennifer Thompson for Thunderbird Community Arts; $25 from Pat and Lana Schreiner for Thunderbird Community Arts and a $25 theatre donation from Joe and Rebecca Vos.

Elementary principal Jennifer Thompson reported T-Bird Community Arts hosted tryouts for “The Sound of Music” and 34 people, age 7 to adult, were cast in various musical roles. Performances are Aug. 4-7.

Mandy Blumhoefer served as art camp director this year. Students performed “The Lion King Kids” on the last day of camp.

Elementary school concerts are set for Thursday, May 19. The K-2 concert begins at 6 p.m., grades 3-5 at 7 p.m.. Afternoon concerns for K-2 start at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. for grades 3-5.

The high school variety show will be at 7 p.m., Friday and Saturday, May 20-21.
