In honor of National Athletic Training Month, GHS would like to recognize special VIP members of its athletic family – athletic trainers. During March, athletic trainers across America are being recognized for their commitment to helping people prevent injuries and stay healthy and active. Athletic trainers are health care professionals who are highly educated and dedicated to the job at hand. They can be found at high schools, colleges, corporations, professional sports, the military, performing arts and clinics, hospitals, and physician offices. They provide compassionate care for all. GHS would like to salute our athletic trainers for providing quality health care for our athletes and employees every day. Catherine Wolhford, George Potter, and Maritza Chavez Stahly – we appreciate each of you and are thankful for what you all do for us here at GHS! Join me in applauding them and in celebrating National Athletic Training Month!

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 3:50 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.
