GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2018
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
GHS is excited to host the Champions Together Assembly on Tuesday, February 6th, during the 1st session of SRT. This program is about inclusion for all students and is the organization that promotes our unified sports programs and sportsmanship education in Indiana. We will end 2nd period after the first bell at 9:56 a.m. At this time, students are to report to their SRT where attendance will be taken. Seniors and sophomores will be released first to come to the gym with their SRT teacher, with seniors sitting on the main floor bleachers and sophomores going to the balcony. A few minutes later, juniors and freshmen will be released with juniors going to the main floor and freshmen to balcony seating. You are to leave your backpacks in your locked SRT room. After the assembly, you will return to your SRT room and then go to your 2nd session of SRT assignment. Thank you for your cooperation!
IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: When I watch or attend a big sporting event, I often wonder to myself what separates the winners from the losers. Is it preparation? Is it coaching? Is it ability? Whether it is a team sport, or competitors going at it in tennis or golf, when two teams or two individuals are of equal abilities on a given day, I believe the difference maker comes down to COMPOSURE. When the going gets tough and the game or match is on the line, I will take the team or individual that shows the most composure every time. While you won’t win every game or match, the percentages are with you more if you keep your composure and stay focused on the end result. Next time you are in a tight contest or you are watching one on television, pay close attention to the teams and individuals who look composed and confident with their mind and body language. More than likely, you are looking at the WINNER!
French Club will be selling Valentine’s Day teddy bears for $4 in the cafeteria the rest of this week! Show someone (boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, family member or teacher) that you appreciate them with a cozy bear. Each bear will have a tag where you can write a message, and French Club will deliver all the bears during SRT on February 13th.

REMINDER: YOU MUST BE STAYING AFTER SCHOOL FOR SOMETHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS – The GHS cafeteria is offering free after school snacks every day after school. This program is for any student who is staying after school. All student-athletes, club members, music participants, drama participants, after school homework help kids, etc. are strongly encouraged to stop by the cafeteria after school and take advantage of this generous opportunity. Students just need to show their ID and they can grab a healthy snack to go that will hold them over during their after school activities until dinner. The cafeteria will stay open until 3:55 p.m. to hand out the snacks. All students picking up the healthy snack after school will need to eat their snack in the cafeteria. We appreciate your cooperation with this adjustment that is mandated by the state of Indiana in order to continue this program.
If you are a student that leaves the building at any time during normal school hours then you must have a sticker on your ID if it’s for a class (PACT, Building Trades, EACC, Merit, shortened schedules, Red Zone, internship, etc.) that indicates that or a blue pass from the office indicating that you have permission to leave. Building Trades, EACC and Red Zone students are also required to sign out at the Welcome Center before leaving.
