GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MONDAY, APRIL 18, 2016
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
If you are a senior and looking for full-time employment after graduation, there are two opportunities to earn $14-$15/hour and learn a skilled trade of maintenance on machinery. Both Benteler and AJP Brunk Corporations will train on-the-job, as well as pay for training to get certified in areas such as electrical and pneumatics. If you stay with the company you could earn over $20/hour within a couple years. If you are interested in one of these opportunities see Mr. Bechtel for details.
There is a Give Back night at Ben’s Pretzels in Goshen for the girls tennis team on Thursday from 4-7:00 p.m. Stop by, grab a pretzel or calzone and let the players clean up after you!
IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: All teachers and coaches use the expression “no excuses” from time to time. Have you made excuses for not playing well or making a poor grade in the classroom? It’s easy to place blame on others to cover-up your own deficiencies. However, making excuses is rarely justified. Not only that, teachers and coaches don’t like hearing about it. Other than sickness or a justified injury, don’t use a weak excuse if you under-perform. Instead, take accountability and move on to your next challenge. By doing so, you will gain the respect and confidence of all those around you!
Congratulations to the Concert World Percussion Ensemble for placing 3rd in the country this past weekend at the WGI World Championships in Dayton, OH!
