· Remember last week when you voted for
President in Advisory? In our school,
Hillary Clinton “won” with 40.8% of the vote (458 votes cast) vs Trump’s
32.8%. Well, now the results are in for
the whole state of TN student mock election – across the state 165,968 votes
were cast by students and if students decided the election, TN voted 53.1% for
Donald Trump and 34.3% for Hillary Clinton.
What do you think of those results?
· Teens for Christ meets Monday mornings at
8:45 in room D113. Come join us!
· You can support our PTSA by ordering gear

· 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
