February Student Shoutout: Rena Landberg, 11th Grade
Rena Landberg, a junior, showed her dedication to the GHS community through her efforts during the Blood Drive. Rena worked tirelessly with VP of Community Service Emily Gunzburg to recruit students and faculty to donate blood in the weeks leading to the drive. She was a great help on the day of the drive, donating food/drinks for the blood donors and helping the event to run smoothly. Thank you Rena!
