Hello Gilbert H. Hood Families,

 

Although it was a brisk one, last week was full and productive!  We hope you and your family have enjoyed the weekend with warmer temperatures and a bit of snow to add to the fun.  

 

Here are a couple items to share for the upcoming weeks:

 

WHITEOUT Basketball Game - 01.21.2025

 

On Tuesday, January 21, 2025 the D2 Boy’s and Girl’s Basketball teams will be playing in a “Whiteout” game vs.

Amherst Middle School. ALL Gilbert H. Hood Huskies Fans are asked to wear WHITE shirts to show support and unity for our basketball teams.  Proceeds for the sale of GHH Whiteout shirts will be donated to the Upper Room.  We look forward to this school event to cheer for our athletes, while giving back to our greater community.
