GRYPHON MISSION BRIEFING

For Tuesday, December 11, 2018 – L-day

School Mission – Boundless STEM: Learning & Leading

L&N Student Mission – #Own it!

School Ops:

·      Don’t forget to have your early dismissal permission forms signed by parents!  You received them in N4 class on Friday and they are due back to the office by this Friday.  Stop by the office to pick one up if you still need one.

·      It is SGA WonderWeek - to finish the semester on a fun note! Everyone is invited to participate!

o   Tuesday – Family Photo Day – don matching outfits for the goofy family holiday photo with your friends!

o   Wednesday – Holiday Character Day – come as your favorite holiday character.  Junior class is sponsoring a showing of “Elf” at 6:30 in the Commons for everyone

o   Thursday – Ugly Sweater Day

o   Friday – Flannel Day – notice there are no pajama days listed.  Let’s keep even the cozy fleece and other PJ’s at home, please!

·      We have a student who lent a MacAir charger to someone in the Commons last Monday during Early Release time.  It has not yet been returned.  If you are the borrower, please return to the office so we can get it back to the owner!

·      Gryphons, you can still purchase a yearbook for $70 until February 22nd! Order yours ASAP at jostensyearbooks.com to save $10 on your 2018-19 memories (and make sure to follow @STEMYB on twitter)!

·      Ugly Sweater sweatshirts from the Junior Class (Class of 2020) for $20 are here!  Pick yours up today to wear this Thursday!

Community  & Guidance Ops:

·      Seniors have you filed your FAFSA yet?
