School Ops:

Today when we release at 3:30 all students are invited
down to the WFP lawn to watch the annual Seniors v Faculty ball game. This year we have switched from flag football
to kickball (faculty are getting older while seniors remain the same age year
after year!). Come out and cheer on your favorites and buy some snacks!. Game
will be over at 4:25 so bus riders can catch their rides.
·
Our ProjectU group is looking for help with activity
ideas. Please take a minute to complete this
survey to share your thoughts: https://goo.gl/forms/R8i1QglplVWi2XMY2

Governors School applications are due to Mr. Sudderth by
tomorrow (11/27). See below for all the
options.

Congratulations to Abigail Watson and Ethan
Anderson who participated in the Freshman Choir and Gretta Berry who sang in the Women’s Choir at the 2018 All East Choir
Clinic and Concert. In addition, Gretta
has qualified to sing in the 2019 All State Women’s Choir in Nashville this
April. Way to go minstrel Gryphons!
·
Congratulations to Class
of 2019 member Turner Rogers for
being awarded the Optimist Club's annual Robert H. Leonard Service to
Humanity Award on Friday. Turner represented our school as a high school
senior with a consistent and impressive focus on service.
·
Congratulations to our L&N Art students who were
juried into the East Tennessee Region Art Exhibition at the Knoxville Museum of
Art: Kaizen Johnson (mixed media), Kayla Juhl (printmaking)
and Aidyn Parkey (2 drawings). Special congrats to Kayla, who
also was awarded an Honorable Mention. This show includes pieces from the
entire East Tennessee region, from Chattanooga to the tri-cities to Crossville
with representation from public, private and home-schooled students, so it is a
huge honor just to get in. The show will be open the day after
Thanksgiving through January 13, 2019.
·
The
Coffee Nook is back!. Coffee,
cappuccinos, teas, cocoa ($1.00-$1.50)
Look for us at the counter
in the Commons in the mornings and the first half hour of each block. We only
take cash or change so consider purchasing a 10-cup coffee card for $10 so
you don't have to remember to have money with you!
·
Upcoming Book
Drive in January. As you prepare for the holidays and
think about leading a more organized less cluttered life in 2019,
consider setting aside any books you no longer want to donate
to the Coffee Nook/Key Club Book Drive in January. We'll
happily accept any books you don't need and find homes for them within our own
local community support facilities (for all ages). Anything not
appropriate for those audiences will be turned in for store credit at
McKay's.
·
Holiday Teacher
Appreciation To
celebrate and thank our teachers this semester (and to keep them
caffeinated and happy), our PTSA is collecting K-cups for the faculty and
staff of the L&N STEM Academy. Please consider dropping off a box of
coffee k-cups in the office between now and Winter Break.
Community & Guidance Ops:
