MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
I cannot believe we are already at Winter Break. With that said, I hope you all are able to take some time to relax and be with family and friends. I also want to thank you for all your support of GDRHS and all our students. Lastly, if you are interested in serving on the GDRHS School Council (we meet monthly), please send me an email. Happy Holidays to everyone and we will see you in 2025. Thank you.
CAMP SUNSHINE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY
The Camp Sunshine Volunteer Trip Application for 2025 is now available! We will be running two trips in 2025, one over February Vacation and one in July. Please be aware that students must be 16 at the time of the trip per Camp Sunshine Policy. Additionally, current Seniors are not able to participate in the July trip, but are able to attend the February trip!
Camp Sunshine is a retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. This camp supports families who have children in various stages of the illness. Its mission is to provide a retreat for the entire family – the ill child, the parents and the siblings. This program is free for the families and is staffed by thousands of volunteers each year. Camp Sunshine is located in Casco, Maine. Students attending this trip will be volunteering as counselors for the week.
Applications must be turned in no later than 2 PM on Friday, January 17, 2025. Applications should be given to Mrs. Carlozzi in room 105. Applications can be found here or can be found outside room 105. More information regarding the trip can be found in the application. Additional information about Camp Sunshine can be found at their website: www.campsunshine.org and also in this informational video.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Kerrie Carlozzi at kcarlozzi@gdrsd.org.
