Mini-Gusto 2025 has officially wrapped up at Good Hope Country Day School, and what an incredible week of hands-on learning, exploration, and discovery it has been!
Students stepped beyond the classroom into internships, service projects, skill-building workshops, and cultural experiences, gaining real-world knowledge that will stay with them for a lifetime. This unforgettable week wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity, mentorship, and support of our businesses and community partners who opened their doors, shared their expertise, and inspired our students in so many meaningful ways.
To all our Mini-Gusto partners—thank you for your dedication to education, commitment to our students, and continued investment in shaping the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers. You are an invaluable part of this program and our school community!
With deep gratitude, we celebrate you!
