Good Times!

The Gateway Voting Party was a success. Nearly 300 students came to the cafeteria during 4th block on Wednesday, votes in hand, and put away 70 large pizzas and nine giant chocolate cakes purchased with funds provided by Glendale's PTSA and our business partners at Chase Bank. Thanks to Mr. Gardner and Mr. Spark for collecting ballots at the door, Ms. Bockelman, Ms. Helfrecht and Ms. Baxley for serving up the cake, our two Chase volunteers for keeping the pizza coming, and to Ms. Eggelston for sorting ballots to make the counting so much easier! Thanks, too, to Mudducks Pizza and Pasta Express for giving us good deals on the really yummy food.

More thanks to you, Glendale's Gateway readers, for participating in the program and to our wonderful Communication Arts teachers for promoting it in their classes.

And the winner (at Glendale) was: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.

Be sure you visit our Website at www.ghslib.org and look for the Gateway Party pictures. While you're at it, why not stop by the library and get a copy of one of next year's nominees?

It's Gateway Party Time!

The Gateway Party is coming! Everyone who has read three of the Gateway titles will receive an invitation to the voting party to be held on March 9th at 2:15 in the Glendale cafeteria. The invitations will go out Monday, March 7th. Your invitation will be your pass from class and your ballot...so don't lose it. A list of students eligible to attend the party has been posted outside the library door. Be sure to check for your name. If you think you are eligible to attend the party, and your name isn't on the list, check with Mrs. Harris or Mrs. Foltz before March 9th. Almost 300 students are going to get an invite to join us for pizza and cake. We're excited to see you there!
