·      Don’t forget – interest meeting for our next Gryphon Global Studies trips.  One is to Spain in June, 2018 for 10 days.  The other is to Germany over fall break, 2018.  You will see Munich, Berlin, the BMW plant, and much more!  Bring your parents for more information about trip itineraries, costs, and how to sign up tonight 8/23, from 6:00 -7:00 in the Commons.  For questions, contact Mr. Mangone.

·      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!

·      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

Community  & Guidance Ops:
·      Be checking your email for your Genius Hour assignments beginning today.  Your lunch is assigned with your Genius Hour class.
