The Post-Prom Committee is looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help create an unforgettable night at Northern Air for our Junior and Senior Knights! If you’re interested in assisting with event planning or helping secure donations, we’d love to have you join us. Our first meeting will take place at the Canad Inn (behind the Tavern) on February 9 at 6:00 PM.
Why?
Within ND Century Code, school districts have the opportunity to provide instruction via remote learning during school cancellation due to inclement weather days. When surveyed, GFPS families indicated they prefer to engage in remote learning rather than make up missed days due to inclement weather.
