Photographers needed!
The Yearbook needs students to take pictures for the upcoming volleyball and football games in October. Right now, we only have a few football and volleyball pictures. If students do not volunteer to take pictures, there will be no pages for these sports in this year's book. The Yearbook is only as good as the students who make it. Please see Mr. Barham for information on taking pictures.
GHS Homecoming 2012, October 15-20
Theme: “Spirit Lives On”We are encouraging all 7-12 students to become actively involved in their school spirit by attending the VB and FB games our teams play in, participating in the dress up days, decorating your class hall, and the Homecoming Football game. We want HS students to attend the Homecoming Dance too. Genesee’s own Thomas Hubbard will be DJing for your dancing pleasure. Homecoming song request list is in the Commons. Not only should this be a fun time to bond with your classmates, but show great support for your school and develop some great school spirit. This is both a fun and important week in school sports.

The team with the most points will earn a special award that they will receive after the Homecoming week is over. The breakdown of points will be as follows:
Game attendance—1 point per class member present for the game or match. Mr. C will count students or designate another staff member to do so. Games of attendance will be
District VB game(s), the JH VB match against Deary, and the Homecoming game itself. Dress up days—1 point per student appropriately dressed for the day’s theme. Additional points may be awarded to students who really capture the spirit! Pep Rally participation and class games. Classes will earn points for each of these activities at the pep rally.
