G-CARDS are the currency at Granger High and with these, students and teachers can buy food, drinks, G-gear, and for a short time students paid off fines. During accreditation, teachers were told to pass out G-cards at the beginning of class. This earned many students eight G-cards. For many, this was their first time receiving a G-card this year and while others added to the ridiculous number of G-cards they already had.

These cards read ‘Thoughtful Empowered Connected’ and represent the core values Granger’s administration hopes to instill in students.

“I rarely get G-cards from my teachers, and I can’t believe it when people save enough to buy the G-gear with G-cards,” Antonio Rivas (11) said.  The snacks at the G-store are not helping either, with their temptation to buy their snacks and beverages.

G-cards are now spreading out more than ever and there are many ways to get them. Just showing up to class on time can earn a student a G-card on some occasions. Answering some question in class might also give students a G-card. “I give a highly complex problem that will get students to strive for an answer for the G-card,” one teacher said.

Getting students involved in class is a great thing to do. Even lending a hand and picking up something for a teacher from the office can earn a G-card for thoughtfulness.

Saving or spending these G-cards is up to the student. In the long run, when Lancers want to buy some G-gear, even though people don’t have all their cash, they can pay half and half — money and G-cards.

The G-cards go up to a dollar if used on G-gear purchased before or after school. Saving up might be worth it, since the gear lasts and stays in style, while the food either gets eaten or gets expired.

Expect to see more G-gear being worn by fellow Lancers. With no guarantee that the G-store will restocking its merchandise, Lancers should get some while they still can and wait no longer.

There are many types of G-gear styles, and there is a diversity in styles where all Lancers could find something they would wear.
