A way to honor teachers, administrators, volunteers and students
|
The end of the school year is one of the best times to honor retiring teachers, exemplary students, favorite educators, graduating seniors and appreciated community members who have made a difference in education in the town of Granby. A tax-deductible contribution to the Granby Education Foundation (GEF) is the perfect way to recognize that person. The GEF is excited to provide the community an opportunity to acknowledge these special individuals through tax-deductible donations to the GEF via the annual Tribute Program.
