Dear Cowboy Community,

Join us in the GHS auditorium to celebrate our inductees. Then, join us Thursday night for the Band Concert at 6pm, followed by the NHS Staff v. Staff Volleyball fundraiser following the concert at 6:30pm. Concert and Show Choirs will perform on Tuesday, April 7th at 6pm, as well.

We're heading into our state assessment window next week. Our Juniors will take the CMAS Science assessment on Tuesday, April 7th, while all 9th, 10th, and 11th graders will take the PSAT or SAT on Tuesday, April 14th. There is no school for 12th graders that day.

We'll have a slightly altered schedule on Thursday, April 9th for our GHS Legion Club assembly, and we have other schedule changes this month for Springfest and our Awards ceremony.

Seniors, Honor Cord applications are due no later than Friday, April 10th to Mrs. Benson. They can be handed in digitally or hard copies. The form has been emailed to students and also posted in Google Classroom. You can also pick one up from Mrs. Benson's classroom.

Project Graduation is an annual graduation party planned and given for Gunnison graduates by a committee of their parents. This is a chance for ALL graduates to celebrate together before moving on to whatever greatness you have planned for the future! We understand graduation is an exciting time and should be celebrated and our goal is to offer an opportunity for graduates to celebrate together in a safe, supervised, drug, alcohol and tobacco free environment. Each year, this wonderful event has been made possible, largely through the generous contributions of many members of our business community and parent volunteers of the graduating class. To learn more, sign-up to help, or donate, email gunnisonprojectgrad@gmail.com

Next parent meeting is Wednesday, April 8, 6pm in the GHS Library!
