Dear GES Panther Families,

It is hard to believe we are beginning our second year together! As we reflect on our first year as administrators of Gowanda Elementary, we are incredibly grateful for the warm welcome, support, and partnership you have shown us throughout the year.

Our first year together was filled with so many wonderful moments, challenges that helped us grow, and plenty of Panther pride. We are so proud of all that our students, staff, and families have accomplished together, and we are excited to continue building on that momentum as we begin the 2026–2027 school year.

At Gowanda Elementary, our commitment remains the same: to provide a safe, supportive, and joyful learning environment where every child feels valued, challenged, and encouraged to grow. This year, we are excited to continue strengthening our school community, supporting student growth, and creating meaningful experiences that make our students excited to come to school each day.

One of the things we value most about our school is the strong partnership between our school and our families. Your support, communication, and involvement make such a difference in the lives of our students. We look forward to seeing many of you throughout the year at school events, celebrations, and all of the special moments that make Gowanda Elementary such a wonderful place to be.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being such an important part of our Panther family.We are so excited for another year together and all that 2026–2027 has in store!

Here’s to another incredible year of learning, growing, and showing our Panther pride!

With Panther Pride,
Mrs. Kroll and Mrs. Shaver
