Hello GBR Families! We now have a new shipment of higher-quality headphones in the office. Previously, the headphones we had in the office were replaced free of charge because of the quality of the headphones themselves. Starting today, March 13th, we have new, improved headphones that are more resilient, and of higher quality. The downside is that if your learner needs to replace their headphones, and you choose to use the headphones available in the office, they will be at a cost of 4.00 to your family. This is the "cost" price of these headphones. If you have any questions, please contact the GBR office at 605-995-3091.
