Geneva Middle School North and South will be participating in a campus
event to help support the Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans. Their vision is to ensure that no veteran is
left behind due to homelessness, joblessness, poverty, and/or mental-health
issues. We are grateful for the service
these individuals given us. The shelter,
which is located in Wheaton, IL provides veterans and their families with
housing and supportive services that lead to self-sufficiency.
Our schools will be
collecting clothing and household items such as wash cloths, hand towels, bath
towels sets, linens, personal products and cleaning supplies. A full list of items may be found on the
Midwest Shelter for Homeless Veterans website http://helpaveteran.org/.
Our collection will run
through Veterans Day, next Friday. Please consider donating to this worthwhile cause. Items may be dropped
off at Geneva Middle School North and South.
Today is 2nd quarter lunch table sign-up. When you get to the
cafeteria, choose a table you would like to sit at for the duration of 2nd
quarter.

From the Sports Desk:
Despite being the one
year anniversary of the Cubs World Series Title, the 8th grade A basketball team
couldn't work their magic against Thompson-Gold. The boys fought back in
the second half to cut it to 4, but couldn't seal the deal. Tyler Bishop
led the way with 10 points, and Tyler Costello and Owen Anderson each had solid
performances. The B team also couldn't drum up any magic in an effort
to defeat Thompson-Gold. But, it was a scrappy and exciting game. Nico
Gonella was the Vikings defensive player of the game.
The 7th
grade A basketball team was able to defeat St. Charles Haines last night by 13
points behind strong scoring from all players. The B team played yet
another really close game which went back and forth until falling to Haines in
overtime by 2 points. The teams will play Yorkville on Tuesday at
Yorkville.
