IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week:  What does the word “sportsmanship” mean to you? If you ask your classmates, I’m sure you would get a variety of answers.  Some student-athletes might view sportsmanship as a handshake after a game.  Others may say it’s your attitude during a game.  Others may say it’s never getting mad and showing your temper.  All would be correct.  I challenge you to think about sportsmanship during the entire school day and during your sporting events as well.  Good sportsmanship shouldn’t be a reaction.  Instead, make it a habit. Whether it’s being complimentary in the classroom, hallway, or field/court of play, take pride in being a good sport every day!

The Frisbee Club will take pre-orders at lunch for Frisbee Club t-shirts this week and next week.  White t-shirts are $15, and black t-shirts are $20.  For more information please see club advisor Lucas Kauffman or any Frisbee Club member.

Swimmers and divers: Bus 78 runs an after school bus route that will pick up any swimmer/diver who needs a ride to GMS.  This bus is one of the last in the circle drive after school for normal pick up and generally departs within five minutes after the end of school.  Look for Bus 78!

The Super Mileage Club will meet on November 29^th from 3:40-5:00 p.m. in room 8010.

Homework help is available every Tuesday and Thursday in the media center from 3:45-5:00 p.m.  A bus will be available around 5:10 p.m. if you need a ride home.  It will pick you up at the south end of circle drive by the flag pole.  This is a great opportunity if you just need a little extra time or even just a quiet place to do your homework at the end of the day.
