Dear students and families,
At GFSS this past week, students doubled down on their studies and continued to put strong effort into learning and understanding the competencies necessary for developing themselves as eventual graduates. This focus on learning is especially important with only four full weeks until the end of our first semester. I encourage all our students to keep their attendance strong and maximize their opportunities for growth with their peers and teachers. It’s really important.
This coming week, GFSS continues with our food drive, engages in Write for Rights, has fun with spirit week, and caps it off with a movie night hosted by the band.
Keep studying everyone and keep each other’s spirits up in these final two weeks before the break. Let’s brighten the halls and see you in your favourite jersey on Monday!
