GPSS School Events Forecast for 2016

    Ah, the new year! We would say new year, new school, but that’s a little cliché, right? Well, whatever eye roll-inducing catchphrase you decide to use, just know that we have some big plans ahead for 2016 at GPSS. Wanna hear some of our awesome plans? We’ll give you the inside scoop, as long as you promise to start school on Monday with some #PantherPride and excitement for what’s to come!

    Firstly, our superb Athletic Council is in charge of organizing our World Junior’s Floor Hockey tourny, starting almost immediately after the break ends. We want to see everyone out there, either playing on a team or cheering for one. No experience required, just bring your spirit and your running shoes!

    Next up we have our semi-formal, run by the Student Activities Council and Mrs. Krysko’s leadership class. It’s coming up very soon, on Thursday, January 14th! Buy your tickets in the caf on the days leading up to the event for $15. We want to see everyone looking fresh and dancing all night!

    Another amazing event we have going on throughout 2016 is Water Wednesdays, which is run by Glenview C.A.R.E.S. Club. Every Wednesday, they are asking for a simple act of kindness that will go a long way if everyone pitches in. Simply donate a quarter to Free The Children and their initiatives to provide families in developing countries with water for life. Your homeroom teacher will collect your quarters every Wednesday, and you can track our progress towards providing a family with water for life in the cafeteria! It’s only $125 to change a family’s life forever, and only a quarter from your pocket once a week! Thank you in advance, Panthers.

    Throughout the rest of the school year, you will have the opportunity to participate in several sports teams, and watch all of the amazing athletes performing and winning for our school! You can go and check out the girls volleyball teams and boys basketball teams on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school in our gyms (just check the athletic calendar by the East Gym for home game dates). Remember to try out for badminton, starting soon! And nearing March Break, look out for meetings about our spring sports; boys and girls rugby and soccer and track & field!

    We hope this 2016 forecast got you pumped for the rest of your school year, and we can’t wait to see all you Panthers at home games, tryouts, and other school events!
