Carrying on the Tradition!
Despite not having a kitchen due to renovations, the GHS Life Skills students carried on their annual Friendsgiving tradition. This year the students were challenged to find traditional Thanksgiving recipes that could be made in a crockpot or microwave. They made grocery lists, shopped, cooked, and set tables for the modified event. Chef Winchester and his culinary students prepared the turkey, and a delicious meal was enjoyed by all! #CreativityInAction #GoDukes #GHSLifeSkills

A day at the art museum! 🎨 For about a third of our Art History, AP Studio Art, and National Art Honor Society students, led by their teacher Mrs. Amy Bergh, this was their first-ever museum visit. One student summed it up perfectly: 'It’s amazing that this art was actually made by people we’ve been studying!' Moments like these truly make art come to life. 🖼️ #ArtInAction #MuseumTrip #GoDukes #ChryslerMuseum
