Intramural Sports Cancelled

Dear Griffins,

I hope this finds you all well and healthy. With the COVID-19 spreading, and in accordance with the larger GHNO mandates, intramural practices and games are cancelled until restrictions are lifted, and prudence deems it right to proceed. I will update you all about the next steps GHNO will make about the season's future in the coming week. Stay healthy!

All the best,

Ben Corcoran

TACOS and SNACKS

Griffins,

The sophomore class is fundraising for their Senior Trip to Washington D.C. They will sell breakfast tacos from Eddies Taco House (I've had them, and they are delicious!) and doughnuts and other tasty concessions. 

They will be providing for us through all our basketball games. Cash is best. Venmo is also accepted. 

Go Griffins! 

Archery Delay and Ineligibility

Good morning, Griffins!

We have had a setback with our archery certification training, so signups will not go out this week as we planned. I will update you all as soon as we reschedule the training.

Ineligibility emails have went out, so please check for those.

Go Griffins!

Sincerely,

Ben

New Blog Look

Good morning, Griffins!

You may have noticed the new blog look. Nothing fundamental has changed, just that this layout allows for continuous scrolling through all the posts. I hope that expedites finding information.

The other major new feature is the pages bar at the top. These pages will hold the most essential and logistical information. Though these pages are not posts and will remain mostly static, please check back frequently for added info about the season calendar, practice schedule, coaches contacts, etc.

All the best,

Benjamin Corcoran

Shirt Link, New Coaches, and Dress Code Update

One Shirt Link, Two Coaches, and Three Notes

Good morning, Griffins,

Here is the shirt link for purchasing intramural shirts. CLICK!

Welcome to our girls Pevensies coach, Mrs. Lopez! Mrs. Lopez has coached for several seasons with us now, and we are happy to have her again. 

And welcome Mrs. Rodriguez, our girls Oakenshield coach. Mrs. Rodriguez is one of our kinder teachers, and she has two young athletes who have experienced the intramural sports program, and we are excited for what she brings to our program. 

There will be NO GAME during Easter Week -- Saturday, April 11. That was a mistake. We will not reschedule it. I will update the PDF calendar to reflect this as soon as I can. The calendar is public now, so you do not need to request access! 

Some have wondered how one gets off the waitlist. One must wait for a spot to open before they can take a spot on the team. It all depends on what spaces are available, and Mr. Corcoran cannot create extra spaces. If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to me. 

A quick amendment to the dress code for practice: please have your scholar-athletes wear sleeved shirts. Sleeves, frankly, make for a more sanitary practice with all the sweating. Thank you! 

All the best,

Ben Corcoran
