Hey everybody! Prom
committee will be selling single prom tickets in the commons for $40 now
through December 21st. This is the lowest price of the year! Don’t wait,
after Winter Break the prices go up!
·
Looking for a fun and unexpected gift for a
STEM friend? Donate $12.50 to the Gryphon Coffee Nook to receive a 10-drink
punch card for your friend or favorite faculty member. If you're someone
who never has cash with you, this might be a perfect gift...for
yourself! From regular coffee and herbal teas to vanilla cappuccino, hot
chocolate, and caramel apple cider, we're sure to have something for everybody!
Drop by the Media Center to pick one up or fill out the following form https://goo.gl/forms/WA4axTTY3WcjHLTo2 and
then drop off cash or check to the attention of the Coffee Nook.
· On Monday, December 12th, we have an
opportunity for a small group to visit Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Lunch will be served on site with a special guest speaker discussing
careers at the intersection of the Classics, Journalism, and STEM. If you
are interested in touring the Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (3D
Printing), the Spallation Neutron Source, and the High Flux Isotope
Reactor, please complete this form: https://goo.gl/forms/UGyPufN64vJ4VCCy1. If you have any questions, please email luke.bell@knoxschools.org.
Community
& Guidance Ops:
· From your counselors: Sometimes it’s just not possible to sort
through tough times alone. Problems can build up and you may lose sleep
or find it hard to concentrate on your school work. When you need to talk
to someone, your school counselor can be a great place to start.
School counselors are trained to take your problem
seriously, listen, and help — it doesn’t have to be just about school stuff.
A counselor can help you deal with the sadness of when someone has died
as well as advise you on taking the right classes to get into your dream
college.
Please
remember to first check in with your teacher before going to the school
counseling office if you are having an emergency. If you would like to
have a meeting about a non-urgent matter, email your school counselor to set up
a time that works for both of you. Know that you always have a safe place
to talk, draw, or just have someone sit quietly near you while you process on
your own.

of the day from Robert Collier:
Success is the sum of small effort,
repeated day in and day out.
