GCHS's College Marketing classes and students in the ACE program collaborated on a holiday plant sale to raise money for Camp Anchor. Today, they presented a check for $330 to representatives from Camp Anchor, MaryAnn Hanson, director, and John McKenna, vice president.
The students worked together during their classes throughout the school day to sell the plants to students and staff. They worked on marketing strategies, sales, money management, and customer service skills.
Special thanks to Dr. McKinstry, Mrs. Colwell, and Mr. Sussman for helping to coordinate. Great job everyone!

If approved by voters, the project would not result in any additional cost to residents, as the projects would be funded through the two existing capital reserve funds and the bond that is tax neutral. Please remember to vote on Feb. 13!
