Senior Portraits, Bios, Wills and Quotes...
Parents/Guardians/Loved Ones and 2022 SENIORS,
Congratulations! Now that you’ve completed your junior year, you’re preparing for your final year at Gananda High School. As a senior, you may partake in senior portraits, senior send-offs (from parents and loved-ones), and various extras such as senior baby pictures, senior quotes, senior bios and senior wills. In this letter, you will find information for senior picture specifications and information for senior send-off. Senior quotes, bios, and wills will be sent electronically via Google Forms, so be sure to pay attention to announcements on ParentSquare and Schoology. Questions or concerns can be addressed by contacting the yearbook advisor, Mrs. Zebulske, via email at rzebulske@gananda.org.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Zebulske and Yearbook Staff
Class of 2022 Adventure
Due to Covid restrictions, the Class of 2022 was unable to attend the prom so they decided to get a little creative with a celebration of their own. Juniors and their guests had a blast being able to come together as a group to enjoy bowling, ping-pong, and snacks at Radio Social in Rochester. It was a wonderful way to end a stressful year and kick off summer break.
Virtual Spring Arts Festival of 2021
At the end of the school year, the art and music departments took time to celebrate the accomplishments of our students. In a very difficult year with so many unknowns and twists our students displayed resilience, overcame obstacles and took on challenges like no previous generation of students here in Gananda. The students continued to learn and create and uplift each other. We are so proud of what they achieved and we hope that the art and music that we share in this virtual festival brings a sense of joy to your lives!
The link below will take you to the Gananda Art & Music Department's Adobe Spark page. Each section of the site includes links to artwork and/or performances by our extremely talented students. We hope you enjoy the artwork and performances!
