It's time for the Book-A-Thon!
EXTRA! EXTRA!
The 36th Annual Children's Book-A-Thon is here, and we've got a story worth shouting from the rooftops!
Picture this: a child discovers their first favorite book. They sound out words that once seemed impossible. They lose themselves in adventures, learn about far-off places, and begin to dream bigger. That's not just a heartwarming scene—it's the foundation of a healthy, thriving community.
Watch and share our Book-A-Thon PSA by the Bison Video Production Students at GFHS!
