GIHS - Senior Day of Caring 2025

October 31, 2025 • Dr. Brian Graham (Superintendent of Schools) • Season 4 • Episode 4

Today on our podcast, we are doing a deep dive on the Senior Day of Caring, which is part of our district’s October Viking Cares Initiative—a month where every student in the Grand Island Central School District participates in some type of service learning.

Today we explore how Grand Island High School seniors made a difference across the community by volunteering at the Golden Age Center, Sidway Primary School, the Grand Island Fire Department, the Bell Center, and the Sheridan Park Life Center. Our seniors also made special gifts for pets and interacted with therapy dogs. Today we are also sitting down with, principal Hillary Kretz-Harvey, assistant principal, Jaime Peld, math teacher Caitlin O’Rourke, and 3 of our high school students….Ismail Masoodi, Sarah Logar, and Jaymee Gray.
