No Shave November
This year, GMHS MiniTHON plans to have a “No Shave November” fundraiser which we would like you to contribute to! “No Shave November” is a friendly competition that involves male teachers (and their supporting team members) raising money as they grow their facial hair. The teacher/team that raises the most money will be declared the winner and not only earn bragging rights but can also dictate how two other teams shave/dye their beard for one day! Follow the instructions on the poster to donate!
Teachers you can support:
Mr. Weisner (Math)
Mr. McGowan (Social Studies)
Mr. Delgado (Social Studies)
Mr. Skinner (Science)
Mr. Lanham (PE)
St. Germain (Math)”
