“Congratulations to Erin on this fantastic achievement,” said Jesse Frozene, GHS Band Director. “The WSMA State Honors Music Project is nationally recognized as one of the finest opportunities for young people. Erin is one of only (approximately) seven tuba players selected!”
GHS Independent Living Students Use MREs for Top Chef Competition
Prior to graduation, the Grantsburg High School Independent Living class held a fun MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) Top Chef challenge, in partnership with the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
Students received three MREs and had to use the contents as ingredients to make an appetizer, main dish, and a dessert. Brave staff members stood in as judges to name a Top Chef Champion!
