GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Due to the change in the girls basketball scrimmage, boys basketball open gym will be from 3:45-6:00 p.m. tonight, not 6:30-8:30 p.m. as stated on the calendar.

Reminder: Please do not chain your bikes to the fence along Purl St. by the soccer fields. If you do, it’s possible your lock will be cut off and your bike will be moved.

If you’re interested in learning how to play the sport of Ultimate Frisbee, you can pick up your required paperwork from Mr. Snyder in the choir office, Lucas Kauffman, or in the main office. The paperwork should be turned in the first time you attend.

It’s time to order your 2015-2016 school yearbook. The cost of the book is $45 until December, meaning the best time to buy is now! You can find order forms at the RedZone, in the main office, library and the guidance office. Order before tomorrow and you can be entered in a drawing to win a free yearbook. 2^nd place will receive $5 in RedZone bucks. We will announce the winners tomorrow!

JAG is sponsoring a college visit field trip to IUSB on November 13^th. This trip is open to Seniors and Juniors only. Permission slips are available in the Guidance Office and will be first come first serve. Space is limited, so either get on board today or get left behind!

IHSAA Student-Athlete Tip of the Week: Everyone that plays athletics at any level will suffer a tough loss from time to time. If you are a Michigan football player, last week’s loss to rival Michigan State is as tough as they come. Michigan’s punter fumbled the snap and MSU scored with no time left to win the game. Was it the punter’s fault? Was it a bad snap? Was it a coaching decision? In the long run, it doesn’t really matter. But one thing I do know is this: never let a play or game, good or bad, define you as a person. What really defines you is what you learn from your sport’s experience. Hopefully it makes you a better person and helps prepare you for future challenges in life!

Do you want to scare your sweetheart? Frighten your friends?  Treat them with a sweet Jambagram this week!  National Honor Society will be selling Jambagrams TODAY during all lunches.  Look for our table down by the Red Zone!

Seniors – Ivy Tech will be here TODAY for an onsite admissions visit.  Sign up in the guidance office and receive an admissions visit on the spot.

GHS’s Month of Compassion Human Project has officially begun!  Every year GHS students and staff bring in canned food items to be donated to local food pantries. This year, we will be collecting coats, hats and gloves in addition to non-perishable foods.  Donation boxes are located in a limited number of classrooms throughout the school, and items will be accepted from now until November 19^th.  The class or team that has the most donations during SRT today will receive a Culver’s treat!
