3-5th Grade Field Trip

GGS classes attended the Strickler Planetarium at Olivet in Bourbonnais as a field trip and an extension to the science curriculum in 3rd-5th grade on October 30, 2025. They also visited the SHINE FM radio station and ate and played at Perry Farms, all of which offered a well-rounded trip. Thanks to the generosity of the Community Foundation of Grundy County for funding our enrichment field trip . . .
