GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Monday, November 17, 2014
“L” Day Classes
School Ops:
· Congrats to our
swimming and diving Gryphons! They had
another great weekend meet where they beat Webb for the first time in school
history! Big congratulations to the hard
working members of the swimming and diving teams!
· Track
athletes: conditioning will be at the
Depot, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week from 4:45 – 5:45. Captain’s meeting on Thursday following
workout.
· Drivers –
tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 18, there is
a big function at lunch at the Foundry.
They are requesting our help by not parking in the little lot on the
corner of Grand Ave. If you normally
park there, please use the lot on Blackstock for that day only. Thank you for helping us be good neighbors.
· From the
cafeteria: We now have French Vanilla cappuccino & Hot Chocolate available
for purchase!! Just in time for a blast of cold weather! The cost is $1.50 per
serving. Please practice patience while we work out the logistics of serving
this product. Because our water line access is behind our serving line, our
staff must fill the cup for you. Unfortunately, it is a health dept.
violation to have anyone other than staff behind the serving line. So, we ask
that you come through the line to the register, purchase your drink then bring
the cup back to our server. There’s no need to wait in line again. Just come
around the outside of the line (as if you’re going to the War Room) and give
your cup to any cafeteria staff member.
Remember, this product is not part of our standard lunch or
breakfast. You must have cash or money on your account in order to purchase
it.
· Buy your $3
ticket to the Seniors vs. Faculty football game at lunch! Game is Friday, Nov 21 from 2:40 – 4:25.
· Lost: a cross
necklace that is silver toned. Please
return to office.
· Mark your
calendars now – Thanksgiving menu for lunch in the cafeteria on Thursday, Nov
20 (a week from Thursday). Menu will include turkey & gravy,
dressing, ham, rolls, mashed potatoes with gravy, sweet potato casserole, corn,
green beans, tossed salad, and pumpkin pie! They will also have pizza and
chicken nuggets.
· Morning
supervised make-up sessions – come to room 214 in the Station from 8:00 – 9:15,
every Wednesday and Friday morning for quiet study space or to make-up
prearranged work for your classes. Keep in mind that this grading period
