The Spike ball Genius Hour
teachers are hosting a Spike ball and 4 square tournament this week. April and May is fund raising time for our
friends at the Downtown YMCA. Our goal is to encourage you to donate a
few dollars (or more if you like) while playing SB or 4SQ. We can then
give the proceeds to the Downtown YMCA for their fundraiser. The Y does
so much for us in PE and Wellness that we feel it is important to give back to
them.
So come play Spike ball and 4 Square this week during
Genius Hour. We will have awards
and gift cards for top players/teams. It will be a ton of fun and
help continue our great relationship with our friends at the YMCA. Hope
to see you all at Genius Hour this week.
Talk to Mr. Orrick, Waxmonsky, Smith, Ebright, Peterson
and Parker if you have any questions. If we get rained out this week we
can finish the tournaments next week.
· It’s time to vote for PTSA Teacher, Student Support, and
Team Support people of the year! Please
go to http://goo.gl/forms/061AcaYJAn and place your votes.
Each student gets one vote in each category. You need to vote by Wednesday, May 4.
· Congrats to our Ultimate Frisbee team – who went to Victor
Ashe Park and played through weather and delays to come away with the District
Championship! (back-to-back Champs –
they won the fall league, too) Now they
head to the state tournament in Murfreesboro next weekend. Good luck!

Y-12
Federal Credit Union is now accepting applications for student volunteers to
work at the Golden Gryphon Credit Union (located in the Commons) on Wednesdays
and Fridays during Genius Hour for the 2016-2017 school year. This is a
great opportunity for students looking to earn work experience or volunteer
hours, and student volunteers over the age of 16 are eligible to apply for a
paid internship at a Y-12 branch. Come by and talk to current students involved
with the credit union during lunch to learn more about it! Pick up an
application from the folder on the door of Room 215.

If there is any one secret of
success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see
things from his angle as well as your own.
