GRANTS PASS, Ore. The Grants Pass High School Band received an award for generosity in the wake of the devastating Almeda Fire.
Phoenix High School Assistant Principal Dave Ehrhardt wrote, “In the aftermath of the fires, many groups reached out to provide support to the students and staff of the Phoenix–Talent School District. One of the first groups we heard from was the Grants Pass High School Band. A few days later, an armada of vehicles from Grants Pass was at our school. They brought each of our students multiple gift bags and a wide variety of thoughtful items. Even more importantly, they brought them hope and the idea that someone truly cared about them in the midst of this tragedy.”
