Both teams have worked hard the past couple of months reading 16 books from a list the GPAEA put together. They have really enjoyed the experience and we are grateful for the opportunity the GPAEA has provided for our students!
The winning team consisted of Quinn Gates, Macy Anderson, Chloee Haigh, Aubree Perkins, Ava Derr, and Hope Juarez.
