We’re "puzzled" by how much talent our students have! 🧩 Our Exceptional Education students had a blast at the library today working on "The Missing Piece of My Favorite Story."

Creating, Connecting, and Crafting!
GHS Library had a wonderful time hosting our very first "Bead Your Own Vibe" event in the library. Our talented students worked on customizable beaded keychains to add some personality to their backpacks and keyrings.
It was so much fun seeing them create handmade treasures to take home or gift to friends.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! Be sure to check the library schedule so you don't miss our next fun event!
