Tuesday was a day to celebrate the greatness of our GES learners! Students with ZERO behavior referrals for quarter two earned a water bottle sticker and their choice of another prize. This was celebrated during each grade levels' lunchtime today, and students were beaming with Falcon Pride! We are proud of our Falcons every day!

Students in our Graham High School shop class worked with the Graham Elementary kindergarten team to create a family gift that will bring blessings for years to come! Each student gifted their family with a wooden snowman cut to their current height. Students were all smiles as they decorated their special snowman gift!

Enjoy a restful Winter break, Falcon families!
