Lastly, a few other announcements and reminders:
GHS students can unleash their artistic talent by participating in the GHS PTSA 2014 Reflections Program. The Program’s theme this year is “The world would be a better place if ….” Open to all GHS students, students can submit an original piece, inspired by the theme, in any of the following six (6) areas: dance choreography; film production; literature; music composition; photography; and visual arts. Submission deadline is November 3rd in the Student Center. For more detailed information, please see the attached flyer and go to: http://www.gabrielinoptsa.org/reflections.html.
Just a reminder that the GHS library is open Monday through Friday until 7:00 pm and is available to all GHS students. Funded by the San Gabriel Educational Foundation (SEF), this is being offered on a "trial" basis only because feedback received by SEF was that students needed the library opened until later hours (later than 6:00 pm). SEF will determine the appropriate closure time after this trial period.
It’s time to clean out your closets and garages. The GHS Speech & Debate Boosters is hosting a Goodwill Fundraiser on October 11, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Let’s help the Screamin’ Eagles fill up the Goodwill truck by donating used or unwanted items! See for more information. flyer
