The Prairie Center of Champaign, Vermilion, and Ford County hosted their 23rd Annual Red Ribbon Reception. We had two winners from GCMS. 2nd-3rd grade bookmark design winner was Lane Shoemaker from Mrs. Hohulin’s class. 4th-5th grade bookmark design winner was Chase Pondel from Mr. White’s class. The two boys each won a bicycle and attended the recognition reception. U of I coaches Kevin Hambly and John Groce were also present to discuss how they want their players to be role models for kids and to stay drug free. They stayed and signed autographs after the Awards. Scott and Jamie Shoemaker are the parents of Lane Shoemaker.
