Grafton High School

Spring is in the air! 🌸☀️🌷 Spring Break, for students, begins Thursday, April 2. Sharing a few samples from Digital Imaging 1 students designing in Canva.

Bearcat Family,

We are coming together to support a GHS student recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer. While they wish for their name to remain private, they are part of our Bearcat family and need our support.

We will be selling thyroid cancer awareness t-shirts, with proceeds helping the family. Order forms are available outside the cafeteria, in Room 207 (Mrs. Eskridge), and online at the link below.

Join us for Thyroid Awareness Day on April 24th 💛
Wear awareness colors/shirts, bring a donation, and show your support.

Let’s come together for one of our own 💛
