Greetings Hawk Fans!

The Fall sports season is coming to an end. Congratulations to all of the MS/HS Volleyball Players, Football Players and Cheerleaders. The HS Football and Cheerleading teams are still competing. See the events schedule below for the dates, times and locations of upcoming Football and Cheerleading events.

Next Monday’s Football playoff game was moved to the UNI Dome due to the distance between W-G and St. Ansgar. Kick-off will be at 6:15. Buy your tickets here @ WG. Cost: $6.00. We will get a cut of the proceeds!

We will be taking a pep bus Monday. EVERYONE IS WELCOME!! Adults, kids, community members. Any elementary students riding the Pep Bus must have adult supervision. You must be signed up by 2:15 Friday so we know how many busses we will need. Call Pam in the MS/HS Office @ 515-438-2115 to sign up. Time: The Pep Bus will leave @ 3:15 SHARP. Cost: $5.00.

As we enter into the Winter Sports season, please be sure your student athlete has their physical and all of the sports forms completed. The physical can be downloaded from the web site. The other forms will be available at conferences or your student can pick them up from Kathy Walton or Kevin Thiele. Students will NOT be allowed to practice or compete until all forms are on file. Kathy will be available at conferences if you have questions about the forms.

Parent – Teacher conferences are next week from 3-8 PM on Tuesday and Thursday. Please make every effort to attend with your student. For those of you with ELL and ELP students, Mr. Evans will not be available on Tuesday but will be available to meet with you on Thursday.

Donations for the gift card fund for the Chapman family are still being accepted. Send your donation to the HS office and we will get it to Pat Verrips who is coordinating this.

Thank you to everyone who has stepped up to sponsor the t-shirts. We hope to have the design completed and the shirts ordered soon.

I inverted the numbers on the school address last week. If you would like to send Mr. Chapman a note or card, the correct address is W-G High School at 306 West Third Street, Woodward, Iowa 50276.

Great American Smoke-Out
November 18, 2010

Students from Woodward Granger are assisting the
Dallas County For Positive Choices Coalition (DC4PC)
to encourage Dallas County residents to be smoke-free.
Students will have information to help you quit and quit kits
on November 18th during morning drop off.

The Great American Smoke-Out is an annual event that
encourages tobacco users to make a plan to quit,
or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day.
