 Special thanks to the Solomon Law Group for providing our "beginning of the year" MAP incentive for our students meeting their target MAP goals - tickets to the Benedict vs Morehouse Football Game - Saturday, October 20, 2012. This incentive will not only continue to motivate and inspire our students to achieve, it will also allow them an oppotunity to witness two Historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU's) battle it out on the football field!
 Gadsden Elementary would like to recognize "Gardenia's Custom Cakes" & "Sweet Temptations" for providing cakes for our cake walks during our "Back to School Bash"! Thank you for being a Partner in Education!
 Gadsden Elementary School extends a special thank you to JP Holley Funeral Home. On May 15th & 16th, JP Holley partnered with Gadsden Elementary to offer our 2nd - 5th grade students that met both of their MAP goals in Math and Reading, a luxury ride to Ci Ci's pizza! Students, along with their teachers, enjoyed a pizza luncheon on behalf of their school, a luxury ride courtesy of JP Holley, and a break from their normal school routine due to their exemplary performance. What a partnership!
