The third annual International SEL Day is today, March 11, 2022! SEL Day is an opportunity to collectively spread the word about the importance and impact of social emotional learning. Social and emotional learning is the process through which we acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions. SEL is foundational for learning in the classroom to occur! It benefits our students in countless ways, and today we celebrate its impact. #SELin205 #Thisis205 #SELDay #SEL

The GHS Wind Symphony performed over the weekend at the WIU Showcase of Bands. Students participated in sectionals and masterclasses from the music faculty at WIU along with having rehearsals with Colonel Lowell Graham, retired Commander and Conductor of the U.S. Navy Band in Washington D.C. The event concluded on Saturday with a combined concert in the COFAC Recital Hall with the GHS Wind Symphony and the Yorkville High School Wind Ensemble. Students had the privilege of Colonel Graham conducting them when they performed their middle piece of the concert titled, "One Life Beautiful." Students did an amazing job and we are so proud of the high level of commitment and performance that they displayed at WIU!
