This week is Knox County “Thank a Teacher
Week.” We hope you’ll participate by
letting your teachers know how they have impacted your life. You can share it with the system by using
their Social Media tags: (Twitter: #ThankaTeacherKnox; or email your “thank you
teacher” story straight to: ThankaTeacher@greatschoolspartnership.com). All this week!
· 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.

Fruved! Today and Monday, the Get Fruved

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!!!

Advantage: Knoxville In-Home Tutoring is hosting a Free Mock ACT on Saturday, November
19. Students will receive their scores before they leave, and they will get
to keep their tests for their review. This is open to all Knox County area
students. Limited seating is available. Sign up directly from our homepage
at www.KnoxvilleTutor.com.

· 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!
