Congratulations Staff Members!
Congratulations to Dr. Varlack, Mrs. Langley, Mrs. Harish, Mrs. DeOrio, Mrs. Lindenmann, Mrs. Clawson, and Ms. Burke!  They were honored last evening at the Board of Education at the GT Educator Recognition ceremony.  They were all nominated by members of the FRES community!
