GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 2017                                 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

WORK PERMITS:  When you get a work permit EVERY box needs to be filled out on the Intent to Employ form before we will issue you the work permit.

Seniors:  If you still need to order a cap and gown you can visit their web site at www.highschool.herffjones.com to place an order.  They will also be here on April 13^th during the lunch periods.  Cap & Gown delivery day will be on May 2^nd during SRT.

Attention wrestlers:  All after school meetings with Coach Pickard this week will be postponed until after spring break.  A new sign-up list will be posted.

Please remember to check the lost and found located in the Welcome Center if you are missing items.  Unclaimed items will be taken to Goodwill if they are not picked up prior to Spring Break.

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week:  What’s your mental state like before a big game or an important test?  Are you unsure or afraid to fail?  Are you confident?  Do you feel prepared? Are you afraid of the potential result?  Most athletes, at every level, would tell you that they are a little nervous before that big game.  If you don’t have those butterflies in your belly, I would be very surprised.  But why are you nervous may determine the end result.  If you aren’t prepared, don’t anticipate positive results.  But if you are nervous because of the anticipation of the game and you are prepared, you will find yourself confident and ready for the challenge ahead!

Stay In Bounds Ambassadors who make their monthly visits on Tuesdays, remember that is TODAY.  You should meet Miss Swain at the welcome center immediately after 2^nd period and be prepared to Limbo and play Zoom with Excellence!

Seniors who still haven’t filed the FAFSA:  Indiana has announced that the state’s March 10^th FAFSA deadline will be extended until April 15^th this year!  The process for families became more complicated this year due to a glitch in the IRS retrieval tool.  Students and their families can now go back in to file the FAFSA if they have not done so, or go back in if the tax import tool did not work for them.  Take advantage of this second chance to possibly qualify for funds from the State and/or Federal government for college!  Don’t miss this new deadline!

Come shop for a FREE prom dress!  The Junior League of South Bend, Inc. and Ziker Cleaners are partnering together once again to host Princess for a Night.  This event takes place at the Century Center in downtown South Bend on Saturday, April 1^st from 8:00 a.m. to noon.  You are asked to arrive by 11:30 a.m. and please bring your student ID with you to the event.

Join in with the Interra Credit Union RedHawks branch to celebrate the coming of spring AND spring break!  You could win gift cards just for visiting the kiosk in the commons to register Wednesday and Friday of this week.  Stop by and get all the details from Ailynn (pronounced Eileen) and Tricia.  Let’s celebrate spring!

It’s time for the annual GHS Prom Dress Drive!  This purpose of this drive is to provide free dresses for students who want to go to the prom but may be in financial need.  We have several dresses in various styles and sizes to choose from.  If you are in need of a prom dress or if you wish to donate a gently used dress, please contact Mrs. Hershberger or Mrs. Shakley.  You may also ask your SRT teacher for more information.

Super Mileage Club will meet TODAY and March 28^th at 7:00 a.m. and 3:40 p.m. 

Marine Biology seminars will continue to meet on Saturday mornings and Monday evenings until the Marine Biology trip.  All Monday evening meetings are from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and all Saturday morning meetings are from 8:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.  Your attendance at these meetings is expected!  Conflicts need to be worked out ahead of time.  See the Weavers if you have questions.

Homework help is available every Tuesday and Thursday in the media center from 3:45-5:00 p.m.  A bus will be available around 5:20 p.m. if you need a ride home.  It will pick you up at door M.  This is a great opportunity if you just need a little extra time or even just a quiet place to do your homework at the end of the day.

The Goshen Band Boosters are hosting a shoe drive through April 9^th and would love your help! They’re collecting gently used or new shoes which are then taken to other countries such as Haiti and given to micro-entrepreneurs.  The entrepreneurs refurbish the shoes into usable ones or other items of use and sell them to earn an income to help themselves and their families.  Take a look in your closets or wherever you may keep your shoes and see if you have a pair or two that you would be willing to donate.  You can even donate flip flops.  Bins will be placed around the school (as well as the Goshen area) that have a poster on them with the dos and don’ts of what is an acceptable shoe.  If you would like more information, or have any questions please feel free to contact Kristy Nissley at nissley1998@gmail.com.
