Okay, GMSS – your help is needed! You have all heard the news stories of the
devastating bush fires in Australia and you may have seen the tragic pictures
of all the koalas, kangaroos and other animals that have been hurt and left
homeless by those fires. Well, here is
an easy way to help and show your support (and look koala-fied too). Purchase one of the t-shirts you’ve all seen
on the flyers and posters around school and the proceeds will go towards
helping all those animals! They’re only $15 so pick up an order form in the
office soon!

The crowd was bumping, Aurora tried a
misdirection trick play to start the game, and there were celebrity appearances
from Mr. Foulkes, Mr. Barabasz, and Ms. Krahulec as the 7th grade A team took
on Aurora. After a back and forth first half, the 7th grade
girls’ A basketball team put the pedal to the medal in the second half and
defeated Aurora 34-24. Ellie Larson knocked down a three burger, and
Kaitlyn Sprague dropped a buzzer beater 3 to end the first quarter, while
leading all scorers with 13 points. Nice team W!
The 7th grade girls’ B basketball team showed
off their depth of knowledge last night against Aurora Washington. Chloe Judd
and Emilie Beaupre owned the screen and roll. Molly Brown got some huge stops
on D in the paint, while Rachel Rudiger played excellent help defense. Lizzy
Shackelford and Lilly McConnell were up and down both ends of the court making
great passes for some good looks at the hoop. The Vikings fell short with the
points but are ready to take on North at home tonight!
The 8th grade girls’ basketball team marched
over to play the Aurora Washington Generals last night. There was no
glitz or glamour in the game, but the Vikings ended up on top. Caroline
Madden and Lucy Buchanan helped conquer the Generals with solid defense and
rebounding. The Vikings head North tonight to try and defeat their campus
neighbors.
