The 8th Grade Celebration (8GC) will be held at Jurgens Park as it has been done for the past 15 years. we already have a permit for the event, and the park is reserved for us on June 12. The district is still determining if the last day of school needs to change due to the recent snow day closures but we have decided to host the party on June 12 even if the school calendar changes in any way.
