2. VETERANS’ DAY - November 11, 2021 . . . Due to COVID19 restrictions this year’s program will be done virtually. The Student Council has planned the 2021 Veteran's Day program and students will watch it in their homeroom class that day. Once again, it will be virtual, but we hope to provide a new and fresh take on our previous programs! In next Friday’s Cougar Connection you will have access to the video program to view at your convenience.
3. Friday, November 12, will be a planned e-learning day for all Greenfield-Central Schools. Students will not report to school and will complete learning activities from home. Teachers will be on-site for professional development, and they will communicate times for office hours to students. There will be a second planned e-learning day on Monday, February 14.
4. After school transportation changes -- If you need your student to ride a different bus on a particular day, please communicate this in writing to the school office by 3:00pm. This will allow us to get a note that your student can present to the bus driver. If your student will be changing from bus rider to car pick-up, or vice versa, you would only need to communicate that change to the office if you need us to notify your student at school.
5. Are you in need of Food Support? Check out the Food Support Resources 2021-2022 document in the download section below to find locations and times for specific food support.
6. Hancock County Christmas Connection- matches families with a variety of resources available to families in Hancock County for the holidays. Depending on family needs and resources available, families may be assisted through a donor program (where a family is “sponsored” for the holidays) or a community service group program (assistance provided according to service group guidelines). Attempts will be made to serve every family in need of assistance, but please know that completion of this application does not guarantee that your family will receive holiday assistance.
7. Applications for holiday assistance will be available in Student Services from November 1-19. If you have any questions regarding the program or applications please contact Kristy Tweedy, School Social Worker, 317-477-4616, ktweedy@gcsc.k12.in.us

INDIANA STATE CHAMPIONS!
On Saturday, the Greenfield Central "Cougar Pride" Marching Band competed in the State Finals contest held at Lucas Oil Stadium. The Band had an extraordinary performance, successfully defended their title from 2019 and are again Indiana State Champions!
We'd like to recognize the efforts of our 8th graders who are members of the Marching Band. They have put in over 400 hours of practice time over the summer and fall, and now their hard work and dedication has paid off with another championship for the GC Band.

SCHOOL LUNCH REVIEWS
BY ANNA STUDER
WELCOME TO SCHOOL LUNCH REVIEWS! MY NAME IS ANNA STUDER, AND I AM A FOOD CRITIC. I HAVE BEEN TAKING PHOTOS OF MY LUNCH SINCE THE THIRD MONDAY OF SCHOOL. I don’t want to make the lunch ladies look bad, because they have to make lunch for 600 students a day, and the government won't let them make things that they could last year, so imagine how difficult it must be. THEY WORK SO HARD, AND I JUST WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT. Today is a special review. I went into the kitchen(with permission), and saw how the ladies make and keep food. I also took many pictures as seen below. In that case, there are no food reviews this week, but don’t worry, there will be next week. I HOPE YOU ENJOY!
I am now doing one food meme each week, and one restaurant food review every other week.
Enjoy!
This is a Harry Potter meme I found on the internet. Cute, right?

Me, about to take a bite of the burrito

The burrito fashionably posed with tortilla chips.
