Seniors:
The counselors will be offering one last time to work on your common app with the counselors on Oct 3rd. Please sign up in focus time.
Students who are interested in playing in the halftime relay, email Ms. Das at rdas@grcs.org today. There will be 7-8 representatives for each grade. It's strongly suggested that these students are okay with participating in physical activities such as running and throwing in front of large crowds.
Friday Parking Announcement:
Due to our Grandfriends coming on Friday, we will have limited spaces available in the stadium lot. Please park in the back parking lot and the available stadium spots. If you are not able to find a spot in those two spaces, please park at the Eagle Ice Center, the gate will be open.
Important Reminder:
Please bring your laptop to small group on Thursday. You will need it for the activity we are doing.
