Last Wednesday these 5 girls gave a presentation to the 5th through 8th grade classes on the effects of vaping. They were awarded a mini grant from the No Limits Nebraska which is part of the Nebraska Youth Tobacco Prevention Group. With some of their grant money they purchased posters to place around the school. We are thankful for their time and effort they did to prepare for this.
Gibbon Great students got a gardening lesson from the garden expert, Mrs. Escritt.
