  • 100 Years of the 'Crosstown Clash' Barr vs Walnut Football Game

    100 Years of the 'Crosstown Clash' Barr vs Walnut Football Game
    Oct 15 2025
    100 years of a legendary football rivalry.

    It’s a rare thing to hit such a milestone. And even more rare is the opportunity to celebrate the moment when it arrives.

    The episode will be a bit different from our typical programming, but we're excited to to share this historic narrative.

    Barr and Walnut Middle Schools have been meeting annually for a “Crosstown Clash” football game for 100 years straight. And on October 16th, 2025, we'll be celebrating the milestone at the annual game.

    To help us commemorate the rich history of Bulldogs vs Wildcats on the gridiron, we’ve enlisted the talents of “The Voice of the Islanders” himself, Brian Gallagher. He’ narrates the historical account on this episode tracing through the storied Grand Island rivalry.

    Peppered throughout the narrative will be a couple familiar voices, Mr. Brian Kort, and Mr. Rod Foley, sharing their insights about the famed Barr vs Walnut match-up.

    We’re grateful to have such a rich history here at GIPS.

    Catch the storied 100-year history of the Barr vs Walnut 'Crosstown Clash' Football Game.

  • Literacy & Self-Expression Thru 4th Grade Personal Narratives w/ Dodge & Wasmer Elementaries

    Literacy & Self-Expression Thru 4th Grade Personal Narratives w/ Dodge & Wasmer Elementaries
    Sep 30 2025
    "Learning how to tell your story — I shared with them that 'your stories matter'. Because maybe some kids think that their stories are too small or unimportant and it all matters how you tell it. Your voice matters."

    Literacy is a gateway to, well, pretty much everything.

    As we’ve shared on this podcast before, literacy is more than just reading.

    And in 4th Grade at GIPS, students start the year by diving into writing Personal Narrative projects as part of their literacy curriculum.

    Mrs. Leah Starner, 4th Grade Teacher at Dodge Elementary, and Miss Katie Zuelow, 4th Grade Teacher at Wasmer Elementary, join the podcast to share as a veteran teacher and as a new teacher how they seek to unlock students' voices through crafting personal narratives.

    Mrs. Starner & Miss Z unpack how students explore different storytelling devices, the topics kids like to share, and why writing personal stories connects to lifelong skills.

    Along the way, a crew of 4th Grade students (two from Dodge; two from Wasmer) jump on the mic to read their own personal narratives that they crafted during the unit.

    Because it's about empowering every student to feel confident expressing themselves.

    "We're going to continue to work towards being conservatively responsible with the funds that we have, and, develop long range plans that hopefully are going to put Grand Island as a school district and as a community in a great place."

    The start of the school year also brings a new fiscal year. Which means, GIPS is in the midst of budget season.

    Mr. Matt Fisher, GIPS Superintendent, joins 'The GIPS Cast' to give on overview on the financial health of the district.

    Along the way, Mr. Fisher looks ahead to what GIPS has planned for the 2025-26 school year budget, how the district is able to lower its tax levy for a third year in a row, and why now is an important time for to start planning ahead for future growth and facility needs.

    Because it's about casting a vision on how best to partner with our community to take care of our students.
