Congratulations
to Campbell Maben (9th Grade Violin)
and Kieran Maben (9th Grade Double
Bass) on their excellent auditions at TMEA All-State Orchestra! Campbell placed
8th out of 18, and Kieran placed 3rd out of 9! This is an extraordinary
accomplishment for 9th grade students. They will be performing with the top
orchestral musicians in Tennessee this Saturday in Nashville. Four years
straight of our musical Gryphons making state!

ready for some delicious ice cream during early release on Monday, April 16th.
Cruze Farms generously donated ice cream to be sold for only $3
(cash only). This is the Junior Class Fundraiser for the year. Grab some
delicious ice cream and help the Junior Class raise money for their senior
gift. I look forward to enjoying this treat with all of you!

Summer opportunity: The
Young Scholars Program (YSP) is for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors,
and it's a great opportunity to get some hands-on research in engineering
before college. This is a competitive application process, so students will
need to submit transcripts and 2 letters of recommendation, as well as a personal
statement. That program runs July 2 - 27th, and information can be found
here: http://curent.utk.edu/education/pre-college/youngscholars/ The program runs on campus at the University
of TN through the CURENT group. We’ve had students participate in the
past and loved it!
Quote of the day from Ralph Marston:
Excellence is not a skill. It is
