Lights of Love to Be Held Dec. 3

Addison Gilbert Hospital’s Seventh annual celebration of life and hope – Lights of Love – will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 3 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. at the hospital. Lights of Love was co-founded by Sue Kyle, who fought a courageous five-year battle with colon cancer. Together, Sue and her partner Shawn Wilson founded Lights of Love to ensure that Cape Ann residents could benefit from the comprehensive care provided by the cancer care team at AGH. Since 2008, Lights of Love has raised more than $116,000 to ensure access to high-quality cancer care for Cape Ann families and the 2,000 patients served each year at the Gorton’s Specialty and Cancer Care Center. This year’s goal is to raise $25,000 for cancer services, with proceeds supporting Addison Gilbert Hospital’s cancer program, including the provision of special care packages to new cancer patients. This year’s event will be presented in honor of Tina Ketchopulos. For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.addisongilbert.org/lightsoflove

What’s Happening at GHS 11/26/14

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The ROTC Program will begin collecting Toys for Tots through December 12. Please consider contributing to this important drive to assist those less fortunate to have a gift to open for the Christmas Holidays.

The Student Council will be collecting all non- perishable food items for the FOOD DRIVE this year and hopefully will reach their goal of 2000 items. Items may be dropped off in most classrooms but all will be collected in the library divided by class, Frosh, Soph, Junior and Senior. May the most dedicated class win!

All Seniors, please remember that if you have any January deadlines for your College Application submissions, the Pink Transcript release should be delivered to Guidance by December 9, two weeks before our Christmas Break, in order to ensure that all of your documentation arrives by the January 1, deadline. Check in with your Guidance Counselor for more specific details regarding submission!
