Shout Out To the Class of 1967

In recognition of the life-long value of their GHS education and on-going class spirit and friendships, the Class of 1967 have donated six books which will make a wonderful addition to the library. Thank you for thinking of us!

Book Promotion Flyer

The Class of 1967 also designed a flyer as a way to promote the books and encourage teachers and students to visit their school library. The fliers can be found in the elementary foyer and the high school bulletin board in the hallway in front of the superintendents office.

Twenty Years

A certificate, along with a signed copy of Try a Little Kindness by Henry Cole, was mailed to the school in appreciation for twenty years of partnership with Scholastic. Each year a book fair is hosted to promote reading and raise funds for new books and other library needs. The last nine years the library has hosted the book fair. In previous years the Granger PTO ran the fair in the board room. Today our wonderful parents still donate their time and energy volunteering, ensuring its success!
