Grants Pass High School Student Digital Newspaper - The May 2022 Issue
In this Issue of The Scroll: Boatnik 2022, Senior Poll, British, Mental Health Awareness Month, The Brave Tin Soldier, History of the Duck, and Music Pros and Cons For Studying
This is it! The final stretch for Grants Pass High School students! May is finally here. That means everybody is ready for some summer fun and their brains are officially shutting off. Good luck to teachers and students both in getting through this final stretch of school. We have gotten this far. Keep trucking!
I'm personally a tomato fanatic, so I'm thrilled to see big heirloom tomatoes around the farmer's market. What are you excited about, readers? Boatnik? River rafting season? AP testing to finally be over? Or are you just thrilled about finally being free from school for the summer? Whatever it is, I hope you can find some joy in May (not too much fun, seniors. You still need to graduate!).
For all of our summer lovers, submit your photos of having fun with friends, pretty environmental photos, etc. to me @m.geurin1@d7apps.gp.k12.or.us to have a chance to be in our next issue. We have all worked hard this year! Proud of everyone for making it through another year.
-Milan Geurin, Scroll Digital Chief Editor.
