GHMS is kicking off their fundraisers to raise money for Relay for Life, which will be April 22, 2005 at Ouachita Parish High School. Several fundraisers are scheduled for January - April for the students to participate and donate money for a great cause. Last year, GHMS exceeded their goal by raising $3,800.00!!! This year, we would like to exceed last year's total. You as a parent can help by purchasing an American Cancer Society moon in the main office for $1.00. These moons are an acknowledgement of someone you know who has battled and fought cancer or a remembrance of someone who has past away. You may also make a simple donation of $1.00 with your name. These will be placed for all of GHMS to see. Thank you for helping GHMS reach its goal. Your support is always appreciated!!
