GBS vs. GBN Soccer & Great Cause - Saturday, September 27, 2008

This Saturday, September 27th our GBS boys varsity soccer team will take on Glenbrook North at 7:00PM in John Davis Stadium.

More importantly, in cooperation with the boys/girls soccer programs and peer groups of each school, we will collecting funds for the Jennifer L. Snyder Scholarship Fund.

Jennifer, a student at Glenbrook North High School, tragically passed away last month as a member of the Glenbrook United soccer team. Peer group leaders will be coming around with cups to collect funds, in return, a Moe's Southwest Grill discount coupon and a raffle ticket will be given for halftime. Those who can not attend, a Chicago Fire bucket will placed in our Business Education office in Room 182.

Hope to see you on this special night and GO TITANS!

Construction Continues on Pfingsten

Johnson Paving, the company contracted by Cook County to complete work on Pfingsten has remained in contact with GBS regarding its continued work. The rough course in front of GBS will be completed Monday or Tuesday of this week between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. They will then raise drains along Pfingsten and hope to put a final course down by the end of this week.

Please continue to give yourself plenty of time to enter school during this construction. Though they have worked well with GBS and are avoiding our most busy times, there will certainly be some disruption to traffic along Pfingsten.

We thank Johnson's Paving for continuing to keep us informed and for working to minimize the impact on our families during this badly needed roadwork.

2008 Spirit Assembly Boosts GBS to Big Win

On Friday, August 29, 2008 Glenbrook South High School held our annual Spirit Day Assembly. 2600 students filled the stadium and cheered Principal Wegley, Tommy the Titan and Mr. Rockrohr home.

The GBS Band played. The GBS Poms, De La Cru and our Cheerleaders all danced a group number and Coach Noll addressed our entire student body after the football team rushed the field through the band's gauntlet and led GBS in the singing of our school song.

Students were outstanding and our cheers reached Glenbrook North - which our football team defeated 35 to 7 on Friday night.
