A big thank-you to the students and teachers from Calhoun-Gilmer Career Center and SkillsUSA for spending the day helping clean up the GCES High Tunnel! Volunteers pulled weeds, organized materials, cleaned work areas, and helped with general maintenance.
Their hard work is helping us restore this space for hands-on learning. We’re grateful for their service, teamwork, and support of our students! 🌱💚🌻
