This past month, Mrs. White’s geometry classes have been working on transformations and learned about how they are connected to art with tessellations. They had a history lesson on MC Escher and Islamic Tiling, and then they made their own shape to tessellate.
The GHS Entertainers Edition 51 gathered around the table and shared a marvelous meal this weekend. Friendsgiving 2021 was a huge success. During a previous group bonding activity they made sidewalk chalk art. The group continues to prepare for the 2022 competition season.
This past Saturday the GHS band participated in the flag raising ceremony and dedication at the Isle of flags in Blueville. They performed the National Anthem as they raised 50 flags, one for each state.
Celebrate World Prematurity Day on Wednesday, November 17 by wearing PURPLE!
