Gotha Update - Week of November 11, 2019
Hello, Gotha Families. Here is your update for the week of November 11, 2019.
Our Food Drive to support our own Gotha families is this week! Volunteers will be stationed outside at the front entrance car line and at the back gate at Morton Jones Road during morning drop off to collect non-perishable, unexpired food items. There will also be a labeled drop box located at the bus loop.
We will also be collecting your “spare change” on Thursday November 14th and Friday November 15 in the car line to help supplement the food donations! Please see the flyer attached to the email version of this call for more details!
We have a number of clubs going on at our school, everything from Robotics to Running. Check out the list of clubs and meeting times in the email version of this weekly message. Email the club sponsor for more information!
On November 19th Olympia High School principal, Guy Swenson, will be hosting a Gotha Parent Academy - Vaping and Cell Phone Safety - What Parents Need to Know - in our cafeteria. Please come hear about how to help your student manage these difficult pressures.
Our Athletic Department is hosting two Volleyball Home Game Student Raffles. Each student who attends the home games on November 11th and 13th will get a raffle ticket and drawings will be done throughout the night. Winners will receive prizes ranging from free pizza, drinks, and candy!! Be sure you come support our Grizzlies at home on the 11th and 13th!
We will be doing a Serving Contest for all those who attend Intramurals on Tuesday November 12th @ 8:00 A.M. We will have prizes for the winners! Underhand or overhand serves allowed and practice time will be provided! Please enter through the parking lot doors and you MUST be in by 8:15 to participate!
For your planning purposes, Boys and Girls Basketball tryouts will begin in January!
All physicals need to be turned in by January 7TH @ 12:00 NOON in order to try out. The packet can be found @ https://gothams.ocps.net/ under important links.
