Granby Parents for a Safe Graduation (GPSG) announced the winners of its annual Senior Art Contest on March 16. Thank you to all the students who submitted artwork inspired by this year’s theme, “The World Is Your Canvas.”
The winners are Jenna Stevens in first place, Bellamy Posson in second place and Jacob Tong in third place. Jenna’s design will be featured on the Safe Grad Night invitation and T-shirt. Congratulations to Jenna, Bellamy and Jacob! GPSG also sincerely thanks art teacher Hollie Hecht for her continued support in promoting the contest every year.
Safe Grad Night is a celebrated tradition, made possible with the help from our community. Thank you to all who purchased treats at our fall and spring candy sales, or supported the Wayback Burgers fundraiser. GPSG also appreciates the support of local businesses and organizations that have contributed to our efforts so far.
