IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week:  This past weekend the NFL held their annual draft. Two of the first three picks were quarterbacks and over 200 college players were selected for the opportunity to play on Sundays.  However, it was the quote from the 3rd player taken, by the New York Jets, that caught my attention.  Sam Darnold, the quarterback out of the University of Southern California, had the classiest comment after his name was called.  Upon leaving the stage after his selection, Darnold said, “Whatever the coaches want me to do, whether they want me to sit or want me to play, I want to star in my role.”  In this day of self-promoting athletes, it’s great to see that this up and coming professional player has the proper outlook.  High school student-athletes need more role models that they can look up to and emulate.  Let’s hope more athletes at all levels share Darnold’s philosophy and star in their role!

HELP WANTED:  Sweet Corn Charlie Produce is looking for hardworking students with a good attitude for outdoor summer jobs.  Apply by June 9^th by e-mailing apply@sweetcorncharlie.com or leave a message for Tami on their application line at 574-304-7270.

Merit and GHS PE summer school forms are now available in the guidance department.

Join us in Goshen on Saturday, June 9^th for the Puerto Rico Rising 5k run/walk.  Your run or brisk walk will take you along the Winona Interurban Trail, a paved surface that connects Bethany and Goshen College.  The run will be followed with food, drinks, age group awards, CASH PRIZES and a raffle.  A free t-shirt is included with registration.  Please register at: https://runsignup.com/Race/IN/Goshen/RunforPuertoRico5k.  If you have questions please email amberfalcon@mcc.org.

If you missed delivery day and still need to pick up your items, please stop by room 2290 and pick up your items from Mrs. Gardner.  If you have already graduated, are a Merit student or your parents are coming in to pick up your items it is easier if you e-mail Mrs. Gardner (rgardner@goshenschools.org) ahead of time so she can have your stuff waiting at the welcome center for you.

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.  Please bring completed forms to the main office in the morning and they will be completed by the end of the school day.

It is that time of year again for the annual GHS Prom Dress Drive!  The 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.

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, yearbook, 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.

Online yearbook sales are set up!  All you have to do is go to www.yearbookordercenter.com and enter our school code (14723) to order your yearbook or yearbook ad.

Just a reminder that if you are coming to see Ms. Tovar you need to check in with the staff in the main office and fill out a request to see her.  She will send a white pass for you as she has time.  Please do not cut through the nurse’s office to get to her.  You need to enter through the main office.
