A sampling of activities at GHS

I am often amazed at how much goes on at our schools that we may miss hearing about. Here is just a sampling of Friday's announcements at GHS:
- - Mardi Gras Dance is February 22nd at Stratigos on Route 30 in Irwin
- - The 3rd Blood Drive of the year will be held on Friday, January 25th
- - Don't forget to check out the "Help Wanted" binder in the Career Center
- - The Future Is Mine is a new group at Gateway that can help you further your career exploration. See Mrs. Weiss.
- - Join the Book Club in reading"A Spot of Bother" by Mark Haddon January 29th after school.
- - Chess Club meets on Tuesday's after school
- - The next Interact meeting will be on Wednesday
- - Community Service Center is open for business; Hours of operation are Monday thru Thursday from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Stop by to sign up for new service projects and ongoing volunteer opportunities
- - Upcoming Job Shadow days are scheduled for March, April and May
- - GHS announces the Junior Volunteer Program at West Penn Hospital for those interested in health careers.
- - Zoo Job Fair, Saturday, February 2, 2008
- - Applications for the NEED Scholarship are being taken in the Guidance Office
- - Senior Class Council needs pictures from 9th thru 12th grade
- - There is a Student Government Association meeting next Tuesday.

This is just a sampling taken from one day's morning announcements. When you think about how many things likely don't make it on the announcements, add that to the things I left off from this one day, and expand it to include an entire year's activities, you can see literally thousands of things for our students to do over the course of a year at Gateway.
