#WeAreGRF Information on our big day of support! Feel free to come by the HS office and donate to this great cause. Friday, October 27, 2023, will be “It’s All in the Jeans Day” at GRHS. Let’s come together to support those who have been affected by this ugly disease. Please give your $5.oo donation to Mrs. Graham or Mrs. Hackler. If you have a pink shirt, please wear it on the 27th. The NHS is also supporting “Hats Against Breast Cancer” on the 27th. Students are invited to give a donation to Breast Cancer to be able to wear a hat. Students will be given an “All in the Jeans Day” sticker to show they are participating. March for Marva will also be held on the morning of the 27th. The GRHS family (staff and students) will walk a lap around the track in honor of Marva Moore. Marva, a special education and co-teacher at GRHS, fought hard in her battle against breast cancer. Our lap is to honor her and our loved ones who have fought against this terrible disease. Everyone please meet at the front doors of the high school around 7:45 am on Friday the 27th. The NHS thanks you for your support!

#WeAreGRF On Saturday, three members of the GRHS Chess Team went to Mattoon High School to compete in the Trahan Chess Tournament against nine other schools from east and central Illinois.
