GRYPHON ANNOUNCEMENTS
For Thursday, December 13, 2012
"N" Schedule Day
Advisory Day


·      Apologies to those attending to participate in the NASA webinar yesterday.  That’s the thing about technology - sometimes a solar storm just makes the International Space Station a hard signal to pick up! J  We’ll try again as soon as a new date is announced.

·      Everyone plan to eat from the cafeteria today (Thursday) because it is Christmas Dinner!  Menu includes turkey, pork roast, dressing, and pumpkin pie!  Thanks to our wonderful kitchen staff who work so hard to feed us all so well!

·      Don’t forget to return your early release permission slips for next week!  They were passed out in first period on Wednesday.  Turn in to your first period teacher by Monday, Dec 17.  If you need them, there are extra copies in the front office.

·      SGA is selling candy cane messages today and tomorrow only!  The candy canes will be handed out during advisory on the 13th and 18th.  Share your holiday spirit with the ones you love!  $1 each
   
·      Brown Bag Chat this week: Friday, Doug Smith & Richard Stair about Wireless Charger Technologies, Texas Instruments.  Email Mr. Smith to let him know you plan on attending.

Service Opportunities:
·      Ijams Nature Center has lots of opportunities for service.  For example, they would like volunteers for their annual holiday craft party on 12/15 from 10-2. They’ll show you how to do the craft and then you’ll help children and families make them during the event.  Lots of fun!  If you are interested you may contact Sabrina deVault, outreach coordinator, at sabrina@ijams.org.

Quote of the day: from Sydney J. Harris

The two words “information” and “communication” are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things.  Information is giving out; communication is getting through.

Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical thinking, Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
