Grafton High School music students were treated to a performance by the Glenville State University Brass and Percussion Ensembles and the High Street Brass Band. Some of the band students and Mr. Rucker were able to play on a Jewel Marimba, one of only 13 that exist in the entire world! GHS Band Alumn Jonah Rucker is a member of the ensemble and treated the group to a performance on the flugelhorn accompanied by the GSU Brass Ensemble! Thank you Mr. Lloyd Bone for bringing the groups up today!

Mrs. Wininger's science classes were busy this week. Anatomy classes completed a play dough dissection lab on anatomical terminology and direction. Biology classes completed one lesson on observation, teamwork, collaboration, and handling live specimens. They also did a water tower challenge.
