Yesterday, our 8th graders got to go to GHS and visit their elective fair! This was to learn all about the various elective opportunities there are to experience in high school. At each booth, students could speak to teachers and current students in the class to ask questions and learn what the elective is like before making their requests for their electives for the 26-27 school year.
