GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2015

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Students:  If you will miss a final exam, you will be expected to make it up after Christmas Break unless you have an administrator’s approval to take the exam early.

Sports Performance will be offered for all athletes not in a winter sport through Christmas break.  It will be offered on Mondays and Thursdays from 4-5:00 p.m. in the Warehouse.  You should change in the weight room locker rooms and take all your things with you over to the Warehouse.  If there are questions, contact Coach Clark or Coach Smeltzer.  You must have a sports physical and concussion paperwork on file with the Athletic Department before participating.

We will have extended media hours for tutoring TODAY, as well as on December 9^th, 14^th and 16^th. You can get help, study or just do homework from 3:45-5:00 p.m. You need to be in the media center by 3:45 p.m. any day you attend.

Anyone interested in playing volleyball intramurals can stop by the athletic office and pick up a team or individual registration form. Games will be played through January here at GHS. Each player will receive a t-shirt and the winner of each league will get a pizza party. Each player will have a fee of $8. This fee will cover any intramurals that you participate in this year (volleyball, soccer, basketball). Forms and money are due to Mrs. West in the athletic office by the end of the day Friday. For more information see Mrs. West or email her at kwest@goshenschools.org.

Starting TODAY, line 4 will become the Combo Line.  You will be able to choose two different items from a selection of soup, salad or a sandwich.  Fresh fruit, veggies and milk will also be available. Chef salads and PB&J sandwiches will be available in the snack room. Also starting TODAY, sliced fresh fruit will be offered on line 2.  This will include cored and sliced apples or orange wedges.  Whole fruit will still be available on lines 1 and 3. Please remember to check your lunch account balance online.  You can deposit money and check your balance at www.myschoolbucks.com.  This is a free service!

Did you forget to turn in your senior announcement order?  Jostens representatives will be returning tomorrow from 10:00-10:45 a.m. in the commons to take FINAL graduation products and cap/gown/tassel unit orders.  You can see all of Jostens products at www.jostens.com.

All sophomore student-athletes from any season are encouraged to participate in the Be the Best workshop on January 12^th in the auditorium during 2^nd period and SRT.  Please sign up before break at the athletic office or with Mr. Kissinger on Thursdays when he is on lunch duty.  This is great morning of activities with fellow student-athletes on current events in sports, leadership activities, integrity and bullying/hazing prevention.  Excuses vs. Excellence?  Choose excellence by participating!

Ski Club packets are still available in Mrs. Clark’s room, 2280.  Make sure to pick yours up! Paperwork and money are due on Monday, December 14^th.

Student ID’s will be honored for non-tournament athletic events at Goshen College. If you want to see a GC athletic event, your GHS student ID is your ticket in!

For any student that attended meetings with Ms. Yost to generate ideas on how we should properly honor our years at the Redskins and how we celebrate the new “RedHawk” mascot, there is a meeting at 6:00 p.m. tonight in the GHS cafeteria with alumni to discuss some more ideas.  You are welcome to attend this meeting to give more input.

MEETINGS DURING SRT:

The December Stay In Bounds Ambassador meeting will be a “walk by” meeting with your only task being to choose your t-shirt design.  Please “walk by” the weight room entrance this Thursday at the start of the 2^nd session of SRT to vote and pick up a Christmas treat!
