Last Friday, eight GHS students traveled to Harrisburg High School to compete in the 114th annual State Oral Interpretation Festival. Two days were jampacked with B, A, and AA performances. Those bringing home some hardware were Eli Barreto, Kaydence Klein, Cindy Khuu, Mya Determan, Cruz Klundt, Madisan Graber, and Piper Bartlett.

The 51st Community Christmas tree at BankWest has plenty of room for presents underneath as Diane Bachmann, Mackenzie Stukel, and Lea Schell, shown l to r, will attest. To help fill the space and bring a merrier Christmas to a child in need, stop in and choose a card for a child. The card will have all the information you need to choose the perfect gifts - sex and age of the child, needs, and interests. Gifts should be delivered to BankWest by Wednesday, December 13, to allow time to sort and deliver by Christmas. Monetary donations are also appreciated.
