Gunnison Excel By 5
Welcome to Gunnison Excel By 5!
We are proud to be an Excel By 5 candidate community. We have been working on our certification diligently with hopes to create and maintain a healthy learning environment for children living in Gunnison. Although we have few community- based resources and a small number of community volunteers, we are learning strategies from our county partners and other small Excel By 5 communities on ways to achieve our goal. We have set our sights on giving children in our community a healthy start so they can have a bright future! Frederick Douglas said, “It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.” Sadly, we see brokenness in our community, so we are taking the steps to reverse this plague through creating a safe and loving environment for children to learn and grow.
