The Gibbon Board of Education met for its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 10, and discussed the district food program, a girls wrestling program, and heard of a large number of good news items during its regular monthly meeting.
On Tuesday, May 10, Gibbon Head Start had a very special visitor come in and prepare a snack. Roxanna Valasquez’s family has had several children in our program in the past and wanted to show her appreciation for the program that has benefited her family. She came and prepared Pupusas for us. They were delicious! Pictured above, front row, left to right, Kaszandra Cruz, Ariana Alvarez, Kaelum Kautz, David Lorenzo Lopez, Daniel Lorenzo, M.J.

Gibbon Head Start is an income based program that serves families who have children who are age three or four by July 31.
