A Day in the Life at GHS

I always find it fascinating to see how much goes on at Gateway High School. Here is a sampling taken from one day's Morning Announcements (todays, actually):
"There will be a Beta Club meeting on Wednesday, November 5th after school in room 1132. We will be signing up for elementary school readings for later this month. Please bring your pretzel money!
--Club Culture will be completing its second community service project on November 14th. Members of the club are to pick up their permission slips in Mr. Taylor's office and return to him no later than Monday, November 10th.
--There will be a Science Club meeting on Thursday, November 6th after school in room 1134.

--So what in the world do you want to do with your life? You mean, you haven't figured it out yet?! "The Future is Mine" can help!
