US Students Kick off Year with Activities Fair
Posted September 24, 2012
The Quad was bustling during the first Monday of the new school year as Upper School students signed up for different clubs and activities available in GA’s Upper School.
The Activities Fair is always an awesome opportunity for students to see what clubs and activities are available at GA. Tables with student and faculty reps from all clubs were set up around the Quad to talk with students interested in joining. A special thanks goes to the Upper School parent chairs and volunteers for the delicious lunch!
