All proceeds fund programs, initiatives and staffing which benefit students and support teachers & staff…such as SAFETY and SEL initiatives, college/career support, teacher/staff stipends to cover out-of-pocket spending, supplemental funding for the library & art classes, grants to extra-curricular clubs, a Safe/Sober Grad Night celebration for every senior, special projects created by staff that bring joy into the school day or improve classroom culture, family support for students in need and so much more!
What's Different this Year?
We are mixing it up! In an effort to strengthen connections in our community we are expanding the invite list…WELCOMING GHS ALUM (keepers of B4L culture) to join current families in celebration and support of our children, future B4L and the change makers we need in the world. We hope the evening will be a festive time, get a glimpse of your student’s school day or take a trip down GHS memory lane.
