GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Thursday, September 24, 2015 – “L” classes
2015-16 L&N Student Mission – Own it!
School Ops:
· Big shout out to Ruthanne Brock for qualifying for the 2015 All-East Women’s Choir!
· Congrats to graduating senior Michael Waller, who took his oath to
join the US Army upon graduation on Monday.
The military has great technology!
See pics from his swearing in ceremony below. Well done, Michael!
· Mr. Bell is collecting supplies that
will be sent to aid a European refugee camp of 18,000 people. These
individuals will be facing winter in harsh conditions and need our help. We are
collecting winter clothes, coats, pants, long underwear, blankets, children's
diapers, and adult diapers. One Vision International will be sending a
large metal shipping container at the end of October. Mr. Bell will be
accepting donations in new or gently used condition until October 9th in Room
208.
· Be sure to turn in your Martian field trip forms as soon as you
get them signed to the front office along with payment.
· Hey students – did you know we have a
working branch of Y-12 Credit Union located in our school? If you are interested in
volunteering to work at the Y-12 student branch this year, pickup an
application from the folder outside Room 215. Please return to Mrs.
Griggs by Friday, October 2nd. Interviews will be conducted on Monday,
October 5.
· Students
and Staff order your spirit week shirts now! They are on sale in the
Commons during all three lunches. Shirts will be on sale from now until
September 30th and are $15 (XS-XL - for each additional X please add another dollar).
All proceeds go to support prom.
· Come Exercise
with Us!! Family Fitness Fun Monthly Event THIS
Saturday September 26th 9-10 am
Hosted by
L&N STEM P.E./ Wellness Department
Join us for some
interval cardio and strength training fun. Bring parents & siblings
and come ready to move. Meet at the flag
pole! (or in the fitness room if the weather is not cooperating)
Community & Guidance Ops:
· Great new tool just rolled out by the
US Department of Education for college and career searches. Check out https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/
· The
month of September is Chiari Awareness Month. Arnold-Chiari Malformation is a rather
uncommon condition in which the brain tissue extends into the spinal canal,
which limits the drainage of spinal fluid. This limited drainage causes extreme
migraines and can drastically affect vision. Many doctors know nothing of this
condition, and as such it can be very difficult to get proper medical
treatment. For more information regarding this, you can visithttp://www.wichiaricenter.org/Chiari Since this school will
likely produce multiple doctors, the exposure of this information could have a
great impact on how doctors approach patients with this condition.
·
TN Promise will drop off books on November 10th
from 8:45 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. in the STEM Space. Students who plan to
participate in the TN Promise proceedings will be given a 10 minute overview of
the qualification process and mandatory attendance dates.
Quote
of the day from Robert Frost:
Two roads
diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all
the difference.
Practice L&N Habits every day: Collaboration, Critical
thinking, Design, Innovation, Inquiry, & Professionalism
