Dear Families, Our Adopt an Ornament Tree is up and ornaments are ready to take! If you and/or your family are interested in helping another family out this season, please visit our Tree located in the office. Once you select an ornament, please let Rebecca or Jenny know your name and what number you chose. We want to account for each number so they don’t get removed or misplaced by mistake. The ornaments are all numbered and have gift suggestions, along with the gender and age of each participating household member. Please bring the gifts wrapped and labeled with age and gender to school along with the ornament by December 18. We will arrange gift pick-up with the families. Thank you and Happy Holidays!

Today, the GBR Student Council and their advisor, Mrs. Kapfer, presented a check totaling $1,968.20 to Mr. Aaron Van Beek from Midwest Honor Flight. This amount fully funds honor flights for two veterans, and also provides a small amount of 'extra' funding. We are so proud of our GBR Golden Arrows for participating in Penny Wars and for making this amazing donation possible!
