Special Activities
GSP provides the opportunity to participate in many activities; this includes hosting guest speakers, Showcase (a student-performed talent/entertainment show), GSP Olympics, Community Arts Day, International Fair, Fourth of July Parade, and Community Service Day. Additionally, the program encourages scholars to form and publicize their own student-led events and clubs, which can meet during the free time throughout the day.

Famous quotes containing the words special and/or activities:
“The gap between ideals and actualities, between dreams and achievements, the gap that can spur strong men to increased exertions, but can break the spirit of others—this gap is the most conspicuous, continuous land mark in American history. It is conspicuous and continuous not because Americans achieve little, but because they dream grandly. The gap is a standing reproach to Americans; but it marks them off as a special and singularly admirable community among the world’s peoples.”
—George F. Will (b. 1941)
“Both gossip and joking are intrinsically valuable activities. Both are essentially social activities that strengthen interpersonal bonds—we do not tell jokes and gossip to ourselves. As popular activities that evade social restrictions, they often refer to topics that are inaccessible to serious public discussion. Gossip and joking often appear together: when we gossip we usually tell jokes and when we are joking we often gossip as well.”
—Aaron Ben-Ze’Ev, Israeli philosopher. “The Vindication of Gossip,” Good Gossip, University Press of Kansas (1994)
