On Saturday April 29th, GSB had a community pARTy!! Here are a few pics of the event. The decorations & games were made by students of all ages. Some highlights were the Kusama installations & artwork, the big dragon, the Klimt ‘Tree of Life’, and Peter Lambshed’s glass blowing demonstration! Mrs. Hight wanted to bring the community together to give everyone a farewell gift of gratitude for 35 years of teaching. “I love you with all my ART!”❤️❤️
