GRYPHON ANNOUNCEMENTS

For Thursday, December 12, 2013

 “N” Day

·    Candy Grams! Get your Candy Grams! It's the time of year for the sweetest L&N holiday tradition! Candy Grams are $1 and will be sold by SGA at lunches from Dec. 6th - 13th. They will then be delivered during advisory on Monday, Dec. 16th. Treat your friends or faculty this holiday season!

·    Start your Winter Holiday with a 2014 virtual basketball tournament in the Commons from 2:00 – 6:30 on Dec 19!  Monies raised will go towards this year’s prom. See information below.  If you are participating, you should plant to stay here at dismissal at 12:30 in the Commons (so do NOT turn in your early release permission slip for Thursday).

·    Don’t forget to bring back your early release permission slips to your Advisory teacher.

·    Prom tickets will be on sale for $40 until the day we come back to school in January. After that, they will be $45, and after January, the price will rise to $50. You can purchase your tickets from Mrs. Brown or Ms. Stanish. So please, buy them now before prices go up! Seniors remember that your  senior fees include 1 prom ticket – but they still need to be paid, and you must be sure your date has a ticket!

Quote of the day from Marie Curie:

We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.

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