The
journalism class needs your help. They
are doing a news show for midterms and need as many people as possible to
recreate Mr. Bell's profile photo on Twitter (@AskMrBell) for one of the
segments. So, recreate the photo and post it with the #gryphongrind2015 on
Twitter or Instagram.

miss the lowest prices of the year! Prom tickets for the
Junior/Senior Prom are now available for purchase during lunch. All
tickets are $40 until December 18th. Get your tickets now.

Make
plans now to have a good meal out and support our TSA team by getting a flyer
from any TSA member or the front office and take it with you to eat at Panera’s
at Cedar Bluff Road TONIGHT, Dec 10, from 4:00 – 8:00. The team gets a portion of any meal you buy
to help support their competition season this spring!
· If
you still need an exam dismissal form for next week there are extras in a
folder on the bulletin board right next to the door to the Hogwart’s stairs in
the Commons area. Be sure to return
ASAP!
· Model
UN is hosting an interest meeting TODAY, December 10, from 9:00-9:25 AM for a
February Model UN convention at the University of Tennessee.

Winter Wonder week continues! Keep in
mind Knox County’s dress code and our STEM Habit of professionalism. Have fun
and happy holidays!!
o Therapy Dog Thursday
Therapy dogs will be in the commons that
you can visit in the morning or during a free period on Monday. As a way of giving thanks for their calm
service, you can support Young Williams Animal Center by bringing in donations
such as dog or cat food and toys, newspaper, peanut butter, etc. Sign-ups
to spend time with the dogs will go out as soon as we have their hours to be on
campus.
o Fleece and Flannel Friday (polar express
day)
Come as you are on the polar express! Dress
in your coziest winter clothes (fleece/flannel pants, slippers, etc) and enjoy
some candy canes in the commons during lunch as you watch the polar express
screened on the visualization wall.

The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who
cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.
