·      In Advisory today you will take a survey that asks about what new electives you’d be interested in taking.  Please take this seriously, not all classes will be offered and we’ll use your responses to choose which ones do.  Your teachers will have instructions right before you take it.

·      The yearbook staff is featuring throwback pictures, photographs taken before 9th grade, submitted by the students. This includes old sports photos, school pictures, summer pictures, and baby pictures. If you would like to be in the spread please submit your photos to S052215@student.knoxschools.org or S739964@student.knoxschools.org.

·      We are so proud of our Aquatic Gryphons!  The swim team made the front page sports section of the News Sentinel as the team had a great finish at the district meet. The entire team swam incredibly fast finishing 7th out of 36 overall. We really surprised a few teams that did not expect a second year team to score so well. Additionally, the boy's diving team outscored all other teams with thee divers (Paul Bretscher, Jared Heath, and John Alex Evans in the top five. Check out the article highlighting Alli Lapps and her two 1st place finishes.
