Announcements

All students are invited to attend the annual Activity Fair, Friday, August 31, 2018, 1:30pm – 2:30pm in the South Courtyard. We will be operating on a Pep Rally Schedule to allow time for students to explore, learn about, and sign up for the clubs and activities GW has to offer.

The Patriot Players are beginning their year with a powerful drama about love and acceptance. “The Children’s Hour” auditions begin this Thursday, August 30, at 4:00pm, with callbacks on Friday. Actors should have a minute-and-a-half dramatic monologue prepared. All students are welcome to audition!

If you are interested in being a part of SPACE JAM!, GW’s new club for learning about space, come see Ms. LeRoux in Room 130 during lunch on Tuesday, August 28. You don’t need to know anything about space to join – just have an avid interest in learning.

Students – if you were hoping to be in choir, but it didn’t end up on your schedule this year, talk to Mr. Kennedy in Room 240, or with your academic advisor to see if you can fit it in your schedule.

All students who are interesting in taking or retaking the SAT should be signing up for the October 6 test now! The deadline for registration is September 7, so make sure you sign up before then to avoid late registration fees. If you need help signing up, have questions about preparation, or would like to find out if you qualify for a fee waiver, please visit the Future Center in Room 113 for additional support!

Students – do you need a free bus pass? The team behind the Patriot Coffee Cart will pay for your pass! Only the first fifteen students who qualify will get the passes. Get an application from Ms. Vigil before Friday, August 31, to find out if you meet the requirements.

Do you love to dance? The Elite Patriot Dancers are looking for you! Tryout clinics are Tuesday, September 4 and Thursday, September 6, 2:45pm – 4:45pm in the Community Room and Friday, September 7 by appointment only in the Dance Room, 2:45pm – 4:45pm. You must attend the tryout clinics to participate in the tryouts on Friday. Stop by Ms. Richason’s office, Room 105A, if you have any questions.

Mr. Beard will host Gifted and Talented Support at George on Wednesdays this year. Try out the brand new High School Gifted and Talented App HERE. Complete the survey and schedule a Wednesday consultation with Mr. Beard in Room 223F in the library, or just drop by and say hello. Dates and times for lunch discussion groups coming soon!
