Class of 2016
Being a teenager is all about being surrounded by your peers, it is a period of life where you are really figuring out who you are: navigating school, extracurriculars, friends, relationships, and social media. It’s a vulnerable time for anyone, but especially a teen with cancer.
I couldn’t have found a more kindhearted community than GFA. To this day, I still feel the unmistakable warmth and character of this school.
