The Buzz School Community News Issue #11

Dear Gilbert Alumni and Friends, Welcome to the first digital edition of the YellowJacket alumni magazine. Due to current circumstances we are unable to fund the mailing of a printed magazine. However, we would like you to stay connected with us and to The Gilbert School family. The news in this magazine bridges the time before and after the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic. We think you will be proud of the Gilbert spirit that emerged to cope with and to deal with so many new and challenging situations. If you know of any alumni who have not yet provided the Gilbert Alumni Office with a current email address, please either send us their address or ask them to contact us at gilbertalumni@gilbertschool.org.  As always, we would love to hear any news that you would like to share for inclusion in our next edition. News items, announcements, photographs, and first-person stories are welcome. This is YOUR magazine! We hope you can take some time to reminisce and catch up with what’s happening at Gilbert.  All the best, The Gilbert School Alumni Office Click here for the high resolution version of The Gilbert YellowJacket (PDF file) Click here for the low resolution version of The Gilbert YellowJacket (PDF file)
