At Graham Local Schools, we are fortunate to have many community partners!
Over the Summer, we had individuals and community groups reach out to identify and fill back-to-school needs for our learners and staff.
This resulted in the donation of many school supplies and materials that will make for a great start for our learners!
Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!
