OVHS JAG students are learning about the importance of first impressions and practicing their G.N.A.P. skills. Students are greeting others with a handshake, knuckle bump, or elbow tap with a Greeting, Name, Affiliation or Association, and Purpose.
Great job practicing those important employment soft skills, JAG students!
