UPDATE! The form was not working properly yesterday, hopefully it is working now.
As we are in the giving season, the GHS Upward Bound students would like to help their community! These students are hosting a drive for families in need. They will be collecting items ranging from household essentials (laundry and dish detergents, hygiene products, etc.) and pantry staples to clothes and toys. If you know a family in need, please share this post so that they may fill out the form. If you are interested in donating, please drop off items at the GHS lobby. Each family must fill out the form to receive items from the drive. Help our students to help their community!! If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Cole Hollingsworth at GHS.

Parents - our 8th, 10th and 12th grade students will be taking the APNA survey on November 28. APNA (Arkansas Prevention Needs Assessment Student Survey) is sponsored by the AR Dept. of Human Services and results are used to help plan substance abuse prevention strategies and programs. This is a completely anonymous and voluntary survey that takes about 45 minutes to complete. A letter will be sent home with students tomorrow. If you would prefer that your student NOT participate in the APNA survey, please send the denial of permission slip on the bottom of the letter back to school before November 27.
