The Success Parade Served as a Joyful Reminder of this year's achievements.
Students proudly highlighted achievements in academics, athletics, music and personal growth. Some students shared how happy they were to make new friends and build meaningful connections throughout the year.
Principal Kristina Giangreco also reflected on the many successes at GDM. Among the highlights were increases in both I-Ready reading and math grade level percentages, as well as 13 more students than last year attending school at least 162 days during the school year.
Mrs. Giangreco said she was especially proud of the many ways students and staff came together to create memorable experiences for the school community. She recognized the Student Council for organizing special events, the Drama Club for its amazing performance of "Seussical," the Service Club for caring for the Lost and Found table, and the many opportunities provided through Dance Club, Language Club, and the music department's concerts.
The Success Parade served as a joyful reminder that every achievement, big or small, helps make the GDM community stronger.
