Lost and Found:
The Lost and Found is officially overflowing and it's time for a clean-up! If you have misplaced any personal belongings, please take a moment to check the Lost and Found located in the Front Office today. Starting tomorrow, May 14th, we will be implementing a "Lost and Free" table, where unclaimed items will be placed for anyone to pick up.
Library Books:
All library books are due Friday, May 15. If you have lost a book, please check with the librarians for the amount of your replacement fee.
Thursday – Anything But A Backpack Day:
Tomorrow will be our annual tradition of - Anything But Backpack Day! “Anything But a Backpack Day” is a fun event where students bring their school supplies in creative items instead of a backpack — like laundry baskets, suitcases, coolers, or toolboxes! Get creative!
Guidelines:
• Items must be safe, manageable, and not block hallways
• Choose items that are stable and won’t spill
• No offensive or inappropriate items
If you are unsure about your item, please check with a teacher or GHS administrator.
Books & Board Games:
Hey GHS! Do you have any gently used books or board games? Student Council is collecting all week to donate to the Quad Cities Boys and Girls club! Let’s see which class can collect the most. Bring them to the shelf by the front office before school in the morning!

Would you like to help make an impact on mental health in our school? The Gray Matters Collective is looking for kind and caring student coordinators to join our team!
