Seniors! Time to
order Senior vs. Faculty Football Shirts is here! Please visit this link and submit your
shirt request by Friday. Please be cautious of what you use as your “name” on
the back of your shirts as it represents our school, and feel free to contact
Abbey Morgan (s735318@student.knoxschools.org)
if you have any questions.

As we approach the winter
season, warm clothing–specifically hats, socks, and coats–becomes even more
important for those in need to help them fight the increasingly cold weather.
If you have any of the aforementioned items in new or gently used condition,
please drop them off at the marked “Coats for the Cold” bin in the front
office. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions
or comments regarding “Coats for the Cold,” please eMail s745561@student.knoxschools.org
or s744420@student.knoxschools.org.

other prizes from those who turned in their consent forms. You can still turn
one in at the table and receive a prize! Just stop by either day during
your lunch to pick it up! Don't miss out!!!

to Cameron Johnson for continuing
the tradition – for the 3rd year in a row, an L&N student has
won the Oak Ridge National Lab’s Veterans’ Video challenge! Cameron and his guests will receive a check,
lunch, and guided tour of some of ORNL’s facilities (like the high flux
reactor) at a ceremony on Friday. Way to
go Cameron!

looking for your baby pictures! If you have any pictures of yourself as a small
child, please bring the physical copies in to Ms. Brown (you can find her in

Christmas? Now is your chance to give the gift of Christmas to children all
around the world....just pack a shoebox. The Class of 2019 is sponsoring a

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

Quotes
of the day on Veterans’ Day, from Randy Nedugebauer:
While only one day of the year is
dedicated solely to honoring our veterans, Americans must never forget the
sacrifices that many of our fellow countrymen have made to defend our country
and protect our freedoms.
