Gresham Community School
Gresham students were busy last week.

The network includes the school districts of Bonduel, Bowler, Clintonville, Gresham, Marion, Menominee Indian, Rosholt, Tigerton and Wittenberg-Birnamwood.
On Thursday there was a Culture Club trip to the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Students toured the campus and heard from Oshkosh students what it’s like living on campus and going to college. They listened to a motivational speaker talk about not giving up on their dreams and to take other paths to get there if necessary.
