it's that time again! The prom committee are helping get you ready for spirit
week by selling the color-war day t-shirts! There is a shirt for each grade,
9th-12th. They are white shirts with colored "Class of 2015" (or your
graduation year) on the back and a miniature gryphon on the front. The
Freshman are red, Sophomores are blue, Juniors are green, and Seniors are
yellow. The shirts are $15 dollars. They are on sale during all lunch periods
and in the mornings. Checks and cash are accepted as payment. The shirts
will be on sale for the next few weeks! Buy one while you still can and help make
this year's prom great!
· You don’t have to douse yourself in ice! The Walk to Defeat ALS is September 13,
starting at 9 am. One of our students is organizing a team in honor of her
grandmother who is fighting ALS. All students and staff are invited to
participate at the walk and to help support the ALS Association, which has done
so much for all people with ALS. The

anyone has any questions, the student organizer’s contact info is on that
website.
