This week was declared Paraprofessional Recognition Week in Minnesota. When we think of the paraprofessionals I have had the opportunity to work with over the years, we are reminded of how kind, caring and giving they are to the students, teachers, and community we serve. It is amazing how often you see a paraprofessional put the needs of others before their own, and they will have it no other way. GHEC School is blessed to have an exceptional group of paraprofessionals who assist our teachers to establish and maintain a fun and enjoyable learning environment. If you know a GHEC paraprofessional, please thank them for their continuous hard work and dedication to meet the needs of each student.


During LEAP C today, some students started making piñatas! This group will be able to work every Tuesday and Thursday until they finish their masterpieces!
