Do you think you have what it takes? Then see Mr. Christy in room 222 for more information. Space is limited to the first 15 qualified applicants so if you’re interested you need to see Mr. Christy ASAP.

Library: As you recall from the library expectations video on Monday, the library is a community space. It is a place to research and collaborate. It is also an academic area: a space to study, read, and learn. It is not a place to sleep, eat, or swear. If you are only coming to the library to socialize, you will return to 001. If you do not wear your mask properly, you will return to 001. Beginning today, all hours will have a maximum number of study hall students. If you are not one of the first 40 students through the library doors, you will return to study hall. Once signed into the library, you are expected to complete work. If this isn't happening, you will be sent back to 001. Lunch hours will also have limited capacity.
Last night your boys basketball team played their first home game of the season and gutted out a 49-43 victory over Seymour. East was led by Bill Felix who had 19 points and Ryan Sweeney who had 14 points. Great effort from all the guys who contributed to holding the thunder to 43 points. Your Red Devils improved to 3 and 0 on the season. Come out this Friday, as we host our cross town rivals, GB West. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. We want everyone to get a retro jersey and come to the game. You can find the retro jerseys in Mr. Rosinski's room 230 for $25. Let's show that over school across the river who has more spirit.
The Green Bay United Wrestling Team were winners last night against Kewaunee by a score of 39-36. Picking up victories for United were DAndre Mixon, Aydin Vang, Carter Bankes, Curtis Downey, Xavier Miller, Ashton Lubinski, and Vince Lee. Great win and the coaching staff is proud of everyone who competed. The wrestlers are back on the mats tomorrow away against Menasha.
As we begin our day, we acknowledge and honor the original inhabitants of our various nations of Wisconsin. As we currently reside on the traditional unceded territory of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin, and the Ho-Chunk Nation, we acknowledge these nations, people, and communities both past and present, as well as future generations. This acknowledgement demonstrates our sustained commitment to building authentic relationships and coalitions with all members of these Nations and communities.
Word of the Day: Milquetoast, noun, a timid, meek, or unassertive person
