Mrs. Tibbetts’ Classroom Edit display name

Welcome to our Dream School at Gauer Elementary. This strength-based, teacher-driven focus was started at our school when our staff began to dream about their ideal school. We knew that the arts had played a large part of our education when we were in school and desired the same for our Gator Scholars. A grant was written and funded by the Institute for Teaching bringing teachers of performing and visual arts to our school. Our scholars flourished soaking in the fun, creativity, and pleasure that only these areas of the curriculum can bring. After school programs grew including Art Colony, symphonic music, Running Club, and volleyball. Soon, our scholars began to dream themselves and formed lunch time clubs to meet with like minded individuals in kindness and chess clubs. A change in our school culture has been noticed by the CTA and the mayor of Anaheim.
