Friday was FUN at Graham Elementary!

Students started the day by Sharpening the Saw with Leader in Me clubs. From outdoor games to yoga, everyone enjoyed the time spent learning something new.

Staff and students alike enjoyed showing off their Halloween costumes for a fantastic Fall day!

event
Today, GES students had the opportunity to join Elec Simon for a "Motivational Music" Assembly at Graham Middle School. This was brought to us largely through a Champaign County Arts Council grant written by Graham Parent (and Urbana Teacher) Michele Slone. The Arts Council President is GMS teacher Gail Wilson. Elec spent time on Broadway with STOMP, and with the Cleveland Cavaliers, sharing his special high-energy performances. Thank you to all who made this opportunity possible! It was a fantastic way to end the week!
