9-7-18 Student Mission Briefing


GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING
For Friday, September 7, 2018 – N-day
School Mission – Boundless STEM: Learning & Leading
L&N Student Mission – #Own it!

School Ops:
·      Today is the last day of our prototype lunch schedule: 1st lunch goes from 12:19 – 12:55, 2nd lunch is from 1:00 – 1:35.  3rd block will start at 1:41.  See Advisory lunches scheduled below.  You will be voting in your Advisory whether we keep the schedule or not – speak up!

·      Did you miss the interest meeting about rowing yesterday?  It’s not too late - let us know you’re interested by filling out the interest form at https://goo.gl/forms/BlEDnxgsT4aJ1Jke2. If you have any questions please email s856711@student.knoxschools.org

·      Students – a reminder:  a few of you seem to have forgotten that Extended Campus forms only apply if you are with a teacher.  Our campus boundary is the edge of the sidewalk rimming the plaza.  It does not extend to the playground by the Memorial.  Once you are on campus you cannot leave or leave and come back without being with a teacher.  Violation is subject to consequences.  Please protect the legacy of freedoms that have been passed on to you by doing what you’re supposed to be doing where you’re supposed to be doing it!

·      Spirit Week T-shirts are on Sale during LUNCH!  See a representative from the Prom Committee during any lunch to purchase.  Shirts are $15 for S-XL and $2 extra for XXL and over. Orders will be taken this week! Don't delay! See below for shirt designs and colors.  Spirit week is October 22 – 26, shirts will be back in time to wear for the pep rally!

·      Tennessee Valley Fair Art Winners:  Congratulations to Margaret Kelley who won 2nd Place for her digital artwork in the Congressional Medal of Honor Art Competition, and to Aidyn Parkey for winning second place and Kayla Juhl who won third place by grade level in the Student Art Competition. Thanks also to Savannah Bresler, Rawan Ferwannah, Kendal Goodman, Mary Kayla Harb, and Hila Williford for representing the L&N with their excellent work. Be sure to see the show in the top floor of the Jacobs Building when you visit the Fair. Also check out the Photography exhibit on the first floor, as our students display their work there as well. 
Art teacher Ms. Jorgenson is also having an art exhibition in the South Knoxville Library in September: Captivating Koi: Images inspired by the Koi Pond at UT Trial Gardens

·        Reimaging computers for Juniors finishes today!  They will be taken up during your English class.  The crew is working so fast students have been getting them back within one class period, so get it backed up, turned in, and reimaged (this is normal maintenance).  This is not optional – all computers that were not given new to you this year must be reimaged annually – and no, you do not have a choice when to turn it in.
o   Seniors will be taken up on Monday and Tuesday, Sept 10 & 11 whenever you get on campus.

·       Yearbooks for the 2018-19 school year are officially on sale! You can get yours for $55 ($50 for seniors if you pay at our office) until September 14th. After that, the price WILL go up, so make sure to order yours ASAP from jostensyearbooks.com! Also, follow @STEMYB on Twitter today to keep up with all yearbook news and updates!

Community  & Guidance Ops:
·      Applications are now being accepted from junior or senior high school students to be a participant in the United States Senate Youth Program.  Two Tennessee delegates will participate in an annual Washington Week in March which includes a variety of events that promote a unique understanding of the structure of our national government. The Hearst Foundation also offers selected state finalists a $10,000 undergraduate scholarship. The student application and instructions for applying are available here. Applications must be submitted no later than Oct. 29.

Quote of the day from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:

Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.  Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

Practice L&N Habits every day: Professionalism, Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Innovation, Inquiry, & Design
