Over several months this past school year, students in the Humanities 10 class had the opportunity to work with professional writers, editors, and publishers from the Telling Room (located on Commercial street in Portland). As a result of their efforts, the first GHS "Chapbook" was published! Copies are in the library - check it out! Congratulations to the newest members of the "I've been published" club!!
Due to the increasing number of students with severe allergies to foods and other products that are life-threatening, we are asking you to review with your student the allergy procedure located in the school handbook. We need your cooperation in speaking with your student regarding the importance of NOT sharing food with others here at school or on the bus in order to avoid an inadvertent exposure to known allergens. Please let your student’s teacher know ahead of time if you want to send in a snack for the entire class so that arrangements can be made for the student with allergies to bring in an alternative snack. Please do not send in snacks with obvious nuts, peanuts or peanut butter. Please contact your school nurse if you have any concerns.
