GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Monday, October 17, 2016 – “M” day
L&N Student Mission – #Own it!
SPIRIT WEEK 2016
School Ops:
·      Sophomores and Seniors – in case you missed them before fall break, Josten’s will be back on campus all three lunches Tues., Oct 18, to collect orders and deposits ($60)!  Stop by and see them in the Commons!

·      This week is Spirit Week at the L&N.  This is all about showing you belong to the L&N family, and your class’ “team,” in particular.  So have some fun, show your school spirit by participating actively in the theme for each day and the various activities through the week.  Remember, all spirit week outfits must meet KCS dress code!  The point is to show school spirit – so think about how your dress might be perceived by others – your challenge is to inspire school spirit, not offend others.  Thank you for your professionalism in advance!
