The monthly Go Go Getter student of the month award along with the Dynamo Dragon Class award were handed out on Friday. This month's student awards were given to Nicolas Gallant and Ryelee Harding while the class awards were given to Mme Dickson and Mrs. Girouard's class. There are many fine students at Gretna Green and it is always nice to have a few of them recognized for their efforts!
