Yearbooks for the 2017-18
school year are officially on sale! Pick up an order form from the office any
time or order yours from www.jostensyearbooks.com.
The price per book is $55 now through September 15th. The longer you wait to
order yours, the higher the price goes up, so make sure to order yours as
soon as possible to save up to $25 this school year!
·
You’ve got your glasses, now
the Yearbook staff wants your photos of your eclipse experience for this year’s
edition. Take precautions, don’t try to
take pictures of the sun without a special filter, but you could take pictures
of your camera obscura shadows (you’ll make them in Advisory today) or other
images at the moment of totality. We’ll
be sharing a link where you can upload next week. Plan now!
·
Don't forget! The L&N
STEMpunks robotics team interest meeting is this Friday August 18th 5-7 in the
commons! Come join us to find out more about the team (bring your parents) and
officially sign up. Robotics members will be wearing team shirts today and
Friday, so feel free to ask them what our team is all about.
·
Juniors with last names Lee through Witt will meet
in the STEM Space during 1st and 2nd lunch today for your
class meeting. Attendance will be taken,
look for your advisor and have a seat.
You’ll have 3rd lunch today.
·
Students, did you know we have a social worker here on Tuesday and
Thursdays from 8:30 – 2:30? She can help
you with community resources, shoe and clothing cards, hygiene items, and is
just nice to talk to! Don’t try to
handle family problems on your own – reach out for the help that is here. You can contact her through the front office,
or email her directly at Kimberly.stooksbury@knoxschools.org
·
Are you quick on the draw? Do you like jeopardy? Then you might be interested
in joining the L&N Science Bowl Team! If so, please complete the following
Google form to receive additional information: https://goo.gl/forms/uKHA268S4mLVIccH3.

Be sure you are checking your
schedule on Aspen before each class – your schedule can change even during
the day! We are finishing changes by
balancing class sizes. Stay informed!
Quote
of the day from Fred Espenak (Mr. Eclipse):
There’s no way to oversell how spectacular and incredible seeing a total
eclipse is. A lot of people think
they’ve seen an eclipse. They think
they’ve seen a partial solar eclipse – even if they’ve seen a 99% partial, it
pales in comparison to see a complete, 100% total eclipse of the sun.
Stay safe, Gryphons! Use good
sense, use your glasses – and enjoy this experience. You might
want to write down your thoughts over the weekend. Keep them. One
day you’ll be able to tell young people that you remember the Great American
Eclipse of 2017!
