Celebration of Inspiration
Date: Wednesday, April 30, 2025
The Celebration of Inspiration gives each senior the opportunity to nominate one Grand Island teacher, aide, secretary, bus driver, cleaner, custodian, guidance counselor, monitor, cafeteria staff, or anyone (at school) who made a difference during their days at Grand Island. During the event, the student says a few words about what makes that individual so special, the student gives them a plaque (provided by the PTA Council), and then the teacher says a few words about the student.
There is also a plaque with all of the recipients listed, which gets hung in the Viking Mall each year. It's a very powerful, emotional event.
