| HAPPY MAY EVERYONE! Just as we predicted last month...warm and sunny days have arrived. Granite City students are counting down the days to when their summer vacation begins! This month we are featuring the beautiful photography of Jack Rainey, local artist. Jack always portrays Granite City in the most beautiful and wonderful ways. His local shots, like the one of the Mockingbird in Wilson Park, at the top of this page, are magnificent. You will find a few pictures of places not in Granite City, but very familiar to most of us. CONGRATULATIONS 2019 GCHS GRADUATES!!! |
