The Gower Student Council is hosting an open gym for all Gower Middle students on Wednesday, October 16th from 3:30-5:30 PM. Admission is $5 with all proceeds going to the Hinsdale Humane Society. All students must have a permission form signed by a parent/guardian to attend.

Boys Basketball tryouts will be Thursday October 24th and Friday October 25th from 7:15am - 8:15am.

Students should be dropped off at Door 6 (back of the school).

Students will attend their regular school day after try outs.

In order to tryout students will need to have a current sports physical on file with the school nurse.

A Google form was emailed to all students from Mr. Mengarelli this week. If your child is interested in trying out, please make sure they have completed this form.

Please sign up today! Appointments encouraged; walk-ins welcome!

The need for blood is constant and only volunteer donors can fulfill that need for patients in our community. Nationwide, someone needs a unit of blood every 2 to 3 seconds and most of us will need blood in our lifetime.
