 Our Community
The Gunter
town website is
http://www.guntertexas.com.
The official census population number is 1250, but Gunter has grown very much
since it was taken. Gunter is a rural community that is growing fast
because people are moving here to get away from the city life.
Our Project
We read
The Important Book by Margaret Wise Brown.
Our first writing was "The Important Thing about Nathaniel" (student).
We then read interesting information about Gunter and wrote our class poem, "The
Important Thing about Gunter".

THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT GUNTER
The important thing about Gunter is that
the schools are exemplary.
The people are very nice and caring.
The football teams, baseball teams,
basketball teams, softball teams, cross
country teams, track teams,
power-lifting teams and cheerleaders are
all great. The school has a great Robotics
program. The school vocal program is
outstanding. The town is small and the
countryside is pretty. The town is rapidly growing.
But, the important thing about Gunter is that
the schools are exemplary!
