Superintendent Shane McCord of Gilbert Unified District (4239) welcomed fourth graders to a water festival held on the lawn of the Town of Gilbert Civic Center and thanked district high school students and Arizona State University for helping run hands-on activities about the water cycle and water sustainability.
McCord also announced that six district elementary schools received A+ awards from the Arizona Education Foundation, saying, "This isn't just 1 person award. The whole community wins this award." He named the six schools as Ashland Ranch, Augusta Ranch, Boulder Creek, Carol Ray Ranch, Gilbert Elementary and Cortina Hill.
