GPS Seniors Inducted Into Cum Laude Thursday, May 6, 2021
As the GPS Class of 2021 completes its senior year, it first recognizes and installs its newest members into Cum Laude Society. Ten seniors join the company of their high-achieving sisters before them as their chosen faculty members pay tribute to their time at GPS. Graduating classmates and family members joined the inductees in the Frierson Theatre while underclassmen, teachers, and friends joined virtually via livestream.
English Department Chair Katy Berotti welcomed those in attendance and explained the importance of the day. “The national Cum Laude Society was organized over a century ago to recognize extraordinary scholastic achievement in secondary schools. Each girl we induct today earned this honor by excelling in rigorous GPS courses,” she said.
A set of buildings that have long sat empty on one of downtown Peruâs most prominent street corners are going to be seeing some new life in the coming weeks.
Local businessman Dave Van Baalen and two partners recently acquired the property on the southeast corner of Broadway and Main Street with plans to bring new retail to downtown and possibly some residential space in the future.
âI hate empty buildings,â Van Baalen told the Tribune on Thursday.
Van Baalen, an owner of several properties around town, is behind the ongoing refurbishment of the old Holy Trinity Anglican Catholic Church building on West Main Street and is also a partner in the extensive remodel of the old T.J. Phillips building on East Fifth Street that will soon be reopening as a brewery and restaurant.
