GHS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR TUESDAY, JANUARY 14, 2020
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The after school snack program referenced in the announcement below is suspended Monday and Tuesday of this week and will resume on Wednesday, January 15th. If students fail to comply with the federal regulations and school guidelines, the program will be shut down for the rest of the year. 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. Student athletes are expected to get their snack immediately after school. They should change clothes for practice AFTER they get their snack.
The Be the Best Leadership Workshop for sophomore student-athletes will be held TODAY during 2nd period and the 1st session of SRT.
