#Driven As many of you are aware, our art teacher Alex Flansburg has been battling lung cancer since last year. In his battle against the disease, he has been #driven to help educate others and speak candidly about the struggles he has faced. One way he is empowering others is with his own Cancer Coloring Book online to help others visualize the battle they face. We are #GanandaProud of the light of positivity Alex's vision and artistic expression is bringing to the intense challenge of fighting cancer. Be sure to visit and subscribe to his YouTube Channel along with visiting his website. | #Respect Last week Private First Class Joe Proeto came to speak to our 8th grade students about Rochester's Honor Flight, a non-profit organization that flies veterans for free to Washington D.C. to visit and reflect together at their memorials. He had served in the Army during the Cold War and spoke to our students about his experiences in the army, as well as his Honor Flight trip earlier this fall. During his trip to Washington, Proeto received a surprise when the letter he received was from his very own grandson, Gananda eighth grade student, Connor Doll. As part of the Honor Flight trip, veterans receive letters from students to read on their journey, but Proeto had no idea he would be getting a letter from his own grandson. It made his journey even more special. The Honor Flight letter writing campaign is an annual tradition at Gananda Middle School. We would like to thank Joe Proeto for his service to our country and acknowledge our 8th grade students for their #respect for our veterans. | #Outstanding Awesome job by these student volunteers for making ornaments for the Gananda Dollars for Scholars Chrismas tree. The tree will be entered in the Light the Night in Ginegaw Park Contest which takes place on Saturday, December 7. For more information about this event, please visit the Town of Walworth Parks and Recreations Facebook page. |
