Calling all Gryphons! Gryphon Outreach is putting on a
Chicken Nugget Eating Contest between some members of the faculty. The teams
will be Mr. Smith, Mr. Fannon, and Mr. Webster against Ms. Griggs, Ms. Norton,
and Ms. Holt. The competition will be 10 minutes long to see who can eat the
most chicken nuggets. That's where you come in. You will be able to donate
money to support your favorite side. Buckets will be out until November 6th. They
can put money in the bucket of the team they think will eat the most. The more
$$ in a team's bucket the more advantages they get..... so for $10, the team
gets a 5 nugget bonus added to their total at the end. Support your
favorite side! Monies raised will go to
support Gryphon Outreach’s charity efforts.

Reminder: The deadline for the PTSA Reflections,
Safety/Multi Media and Citizenship contests is next week. Students,

Jorgenson by the end of the day on Friday, November 8th.

Keep away
from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that
you, too, can become great.
