Last week the students of GFK as well as the grade 5 and 6 students from CES had a very special guest at the high school. Dr. Eva Ollson, a Holocaust survivor, gave a presentation to the students to address many issues relating her experiences to the message of Anti-bullying Pink Day. It was a very powerful message about how to treat others and the importance of not being a bystander. The pancake breakfast, sponsored by a local business, and Pink Day afternoon activities were also a part of the success of the day. Thanks to Mr. Broccolo, Mr. Birch, Mrs. Biberdorf, the Respect Ed. Team, the local bank volunteers, and everyone else who helped to make the day a success.
