Now You Know
Gladstone 55+ Center Video
“ A chance to learn and to get out and to do something.
Gladstone has become quite a lovely senior center.”
Pat - Knitting, Dominoes
“A good place to make new friends and learn more about
your hobby, because there is always someone that seems to
know a little more than you.
Tom - Wood Carvers
“We are there for sociability, for fun and laughter and
snacks.”
Kathy - Dominoes
I could keep pulling out wonderful quotes from the
Gladstone 55+ Center promotional video, but better
yet, you can watch the video and hear for yourself. In
September we will be showing the video at all of the
activity groups as well as at the Fall FunFest. If you happen
to miss one of the showings, stop by the office, we are
happy to show it to you at any time. You can also watch it
at home, just visit the website www.isd622.org/seniors.
A very big THANK YOU to all who spoke in the video and
to all who were photographed and video taped during the
various activities. I was touched by the things you had to
say and the fun you always seem to have when you are
here, even when the camera isn’t rolling! It is all of you that
make the Gladstone 55+ Center the amazing place that it is.
Building District 622 Future
Remodels and additions to Castle Elementary and Rich-
ardson Elementary are on track to welcome students back
in September. Both schools will have new main entrances
designed with safety and security in mind, and updated
and expanded learning spaces.
Thank you voters! Projects that are part of the voter-
approved bond last May are now underway. The first two
projects, Carver Elementary School and John Glenn Middle
School, are in the planning stages. In keeping with the Cas-
tle Elementary and Richardson Elementary projects, the
improvements will increase student capacity, provide safe
and secure entrances in both buildings,and create flexible,
innovative learning spaces for students. These projects are
slated to be completed by the fall of 2022.
The voter-approved bond referendum will provide funds
for the improvements across the district. Stay up-to-date
