GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Tuesday, May 15, 2018 – L-day
School Mission – Boundless STEM: Learning & Leading
L&N Student Mission – #Own it!
Special
Ops:
A reminder to all 9th – 11th
grade students. The seniors have
completed their journey; but yours continues.
You are still in school. Do not
let anything distract you now from your last few days of classes, turning in
projects, presentations, and final exams.
Remember that discipline incurred now will be applied now and carried
over as school starts in the fall. Stay
focused and #OwnIt!
