Are you ready for the Spirit Week final
rankings?!? The winning class of Spirit
Week 2016 is – the Seniors, class of 2017!
Followed in 2nd place by the Sophomores (class of 2019!), who
are very close to the 3rd place class of 2018 – the Juniors! Our Freshmen, class of 2020, had a great
showing in their first year as Gryphons. We’ll do it all again next fall – and
thanks to all for a very spirited week of Gryphon pride!
·
Plan to attend the annual Senior v. Faculty flag
football game, which is scheduled for Monday, November 21, from 3:30–4:30 p.m.

participating, please complete the following form: https://goo.gl/forms/jj60ZT6KjQkrynxe2.
Please contact s745298@student.knoxschools.org with
questions or for more information regarding the flag football game.
· Students – you now know what your grades were
for the first 9 weeks. We will start
with the new Digital Lab rosters today (Tuesday). You also received a separate email about Lab
in particular. Be where you’re supposed
to be, doing what you’re supposed to be doing!
· Want to go into a STEM profession? Want to
travel the world? Does going to places like Spain and Germany sound
appealing to you? The Gryphon Global Studies Program is proud to offer not one,
but two different trips to feed your wanderlust! For the first time in the
Summer of 2018 we are participating in EF Tour’s Student Leadership Conference.
The topic that year is “The Future of Technology” and includes a 12 day tour of
Barcelona, Madrid, and Berlin. For those wanting a more relaxed
experience, during the Fall of 2018 we are also offering a 9 day tour of
Germany and the Alps. For more information please attend our interest meeting on Tuesday, November 15
at 5:30pm in the Commons. We can’t
wait to see you there! Questions or concerns, contact alex.mangone@knoxschools.org or luke.bell@knoxschools.org. Be sure
to follow @GlobalGryphons for more information!
