Veteran’s Day assembly a success
WHAT HAPPENED:
GHHS acquires new sublimation printer
New this year, the business de-
partment acquired a sublimation
press and printer for production of
apparel and gear to revamp the Buc
Stop, as well as to design promo-
tional high resolution photos and
promotional items to market the in-
school business.
With these advanced tools,
practically all facets of marketing
for the school store just got a little
bit easier and business department
teacher Taylor Schriber recognizes
how big these benefits can be.
“With both of these, we will be
able to sell high quality photos and
canvas in the school store for the
first time ever,” Schiber said. “We

are excited with the connection we
will be able to make with impor-

press and printer will help pay for

some exciting businesses in the

social studies teacher Tom Puleo.
THEY SAID IT:
“It was something special to be a part of. I’m
gald we were able to get this done and show
the entire student body just how important
Veteran’s Day is to so many of us. I hope this
tradition continues for many years.”

There is one downside: the

currently up and running, but they
are close.
“The goal is to have the printer
up and running by second semes-

have canvas prints in the store for
purchase as well as posters printed.
