L&N Student Mission – #Own it!
School Ops:
·
Have you told everyone you know about our Haunted
Station tonight? This is a big
fundraiser for our PTSA – and they invest everything they make back into our
school, so come on out and support them by bringing everyone you know! 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
·
You can also support our PTSA by ordering gear
from them this month only! See samples
in the Media Center, or pass on this link to
anyone shopping for you so they can shop online until Nov 28!
·
Students – interested in track this spring? Take a minute and fill out this quick survey indicating
your interest. Thank you.
·
A note about Halloween on Monday – yes, you may
wear a costume to school that day AS LONG AS it complies with dress code (no
bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, sagging pants, “booty” or other shorts or
skirts that are too short, etc.) and your face CANNOT be covered. Enjoy the last dress up day of 2016!
·
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.
on the lawn at World’s Fair Park! If you are a senior interested in
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.
· 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!
