JOIN THE FOUNDATION EVENTS COMMITTEE
Do
you like to organize events such as receptions and fundraisers? Does working with other Governor’s School
parents to pull off fetes for grandparents or incoming freshman parents float
your boat? How about hosting the mentors
who work with our students when they visit on Senior Showcase day?
If
these sound like the sort of activities you enjoy, then the Governor’s School
Foundation Event’s Committee could use your talents! The Committee is looking for energetic and
enthusiastic volunteers to assist with events such as these. No prior experience needed – just willing
hands and your creativity.
If
you would like to learn more about the Foundation Events Committee, please
contact Laura Lewis, Interim Development Officer, at laura.lewis@governorsschoolfoundation.org or
(804)354-1566.
HAVE YOU VISITED THE ONLINE VERSION OF THE MLWGS JABBERWOCK?
The
student-produced newspaper’s new website, supported by a Foundation grant that
covered the one-time set-up fees of host organization SNO (School Newspapers
Online), is available at mlwgsjabberwock.com. The
link in the previous story was incorrect, so be sure to visit this terrific
site!
CLASS OF 2016!
GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENT ORDERS DUE WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4
Herff
Jones stopped by last week to collect measurements for graduation caps and
gowns and to distribute order information for announcements and other
graduation paraphernalia. Anyone interested in purchasing announcements
must bring their check and order form in on Wednesday, November 4, when
Herff Jones will return to meet with students during lunch in the downstairs
commons area. Online orders may also be placed through January without
incurring a penalty for expedited printing. All orders will be delivered
in April. Don’t forget … you have already purchased your cap and gown, so
there is no need to pay for it again! If you have any questions, please contact
Ms. Sheppard (ksheppard@gsgis.k12.va.us or 804-354-6800
ext. 3304).
GOOD NEWS! NOW GLOBAL ADVENTURE IS ONLY A CLICK AWAY
A
new “International Opportunities” link has been added to the school’s
Academics page. There you’ll find
information about past and upcoming Maggie Walker trips as well as a list of
local events with an international flair.
That’s just perfect for planning your weekend or even grander
extracurricular expeditions. Bon Voyage!
