The Graland Gallop, 2020-Style
This year’s Graland Gallop was certainly one to remember! While the virtual format was new, the spirit shown and shared by all was tried and true! With special thanks to our sponsors, we had an incredible time being active, getting outside, having fun, and building community -- all while social distancing. Please consider supporting the businesses that give back to Graland through the Gallop!
We were awed by the talent and leadership of our students -- from eighth graders who helped produce a virtual Pep Rally to student artists who wowed us with their T-shirt designs. Congratulations to sixth grader Malia Graybill for her first place artwork; fifth graders Jessie Huberman and Addison Reed placed second and third, respectively.
New this year was the Pep Rally, Gallop Spirit Day, and awards for Best Pet Costume and Best Graland Spirit! The funds raised by this event enable the Graland Parent Association to offer a variety of events, activities, and speakers that enrich our school community experience throughout the year.
Cheers to the chairs! Parent volunteers, Bethany Chang, Allison Reed and Krista Speicher, did an amazing job reimagining the Gallop with the help of a dedicated committee plus help from GPA President Deb Ridenour, Laura Bonnett Lohr, and Graland staff. Thank you all for your hard work!
