GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY FRIDAY!
COVID-19 Information- Please visit this site for the GISD COVID-19 procedures, protocols, and lab-confirmed cases.
Graham Steer Football- The Steers defeated Vernon last night 63-7. Congratulations! The final regular season for the Steers will be 7:00 pm next Wednesday
at Mineral Wells.
Lady Blues Volleyball- The Lady Blues remain undefeated in district play with their Tuesday victory over Mineral Wells. The Lady Blues Pink Out game will be today at 4:30 in the GHS gym vs Vernon. GO LADY BLUES… BEAT THE LADY LIONS!
Plan Your Vote- The early voting period has begun and runs through Friday, October 30. I encourage each of you to get caught in the intention-to-action gap. If you are looking for information on the candidates, RaiseYourHandTexas.org/Vote has prepared a new voting resource. Vote411 and Teach the Vote are also excellent sources of information for more detailed information on candidates’ stances on various issues, including public education.
The Ones Who Care…
Here's a quick quiz:
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America contest.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last six Academy Award winners for Best Actor & Actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series Winners.
How did you do?
The point is, none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday.
These are not second-rate achievers. They're the best in their fields.
But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.
Now here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.
6. Name a half dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.
Easier, isn't it?
So what's the lesson? The people who make a difference in your life aren't the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They're the ones who care.
Have a nice day...as you serve and care for others!
CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY
