TAILGATE LUNCH IS MONDAY
The Tailgate Luncheon is today. With the heavy rain this past weekend and more forecast last night and today, we are planning on eating in the cafeteria tomorrow. We are encouraging ALL students to bring a towel to sit on for lunch since we will be in the gym and we do not have enough seating to accommodate all of our guests. Thank you to our PTO for the great idea to celebrate Monday Night football with this event and to our food service provider OPAA for putting forth the extra effort needed to host this event.
Remember in order to get a lunch you must have signed up ahead of time. We will have Visitor badges printed off for those that signed up on the form. Everyone is still invited to come if you did not sign up ahead of time, but you would not be able to purchase a lunch – you would need to bring your own from home. If you are doing that, please contact Ms. Chelsea at csmotherman@usd458.org and let her know that you are coming for lunch so we can have your badge printed off (assuming you are already in the system).
Thank you! GO CHIEFS!
HUNGRY HUNGRY HAWKS RSVP
Our Hungry, Hungry Hawks event is Thursday, November 14 from 6 – 8 pm. It is a night of BINGO, food, and family togetherness. Please check out the flyer below.
PTO has asked that families please RSVP so they know about how many to expect. You can access the RSVP at this link
We will also have an auction that evening for teacher experiences.
The cost of admission is one non-perishable food item per person. We look forward to seeing you there!
You are cordially invited to the Gray Hawk Veterans Day Celebration on Monday, November 11 at 3:00 pm. If you would like to recognize loved ones that have served (or are currently enlisted), a red or blue Veterans Day Hero sheet will be sent home. Please fill this out and send it back with a picture and we will have these on display.
As per our protocol, if you plan on attending the Veterans Day celebration, we ask that you PRE-REGISTER. When you pre-register, that allows us to already have your visitor sticker printed off and will not delay your entry. You MUST have your ID scanned into the system AND preregister at the link below in order for a sticker to be ready for you. Once you sign up, you will get a confirmation email. If you do not get a confirmation email, you are NOT pre-registered and will need to wait in line.
