Bulldog Corner Store
Do you need holiday gift ideas for family and friends? If so, look no further! If you are a student, stop by the GHS School Store every Friday to purchase your Bulldog Apparel! Parents and students can also order online through the Goochland High School website. We will only be open for four more Fridays before winter break, so don’t delay! Please contact Mrs. Whitmore (ewhitmore@glnd.k12.va.us) if you have any questions.
GHS PTSA Membership Drive
The Goochland High School PTSA is holding a membership drive during November. Please consider joining the GHS PTSA, as they support our students and staff with many things throughout the school year. Simply go to their MemberHub website, create an account, and pay the $10 membership fee. It’s that easy!
Please email the GHS PTSA at goochlandhsptsa@gmail.com if you have any questions.
Patio Expansion
As a reminder, the back patio will be closed to students and staff as the patio expansion project continues this week. Upon completion, this project will ultimately provide greater outdoor space for students. Once again, any students who enter the building from the back parking lot must enter through Door 3 near the greenhouse in the mornings and afternoons rather than through the cafeteria doors.
Poinsettia Sale
It’s that time again! Please consider ordering beautiful Poinsettias from our very own Southern States to support Goochland County All Night Graduation. They invite you to ask your friends, family, church, and business to order online using this link. The All Night Graduation Committee appreciates your support!
Sick Kicks Shoe Drive
Goochland High School is continuing the Sick Kicks Shoe Drive program again this year! The final collection day will be Wednesday, December 1st. This deadline will provide us with enough time for organizing, sanitizing, and sorting the shoes to prepare them for distribution on Saturday, December 11th.
If you would like to donate shoes, please drop them off at the high school in the hallway near the front entrance during the school day. We have a donation box in the foyer. We will also accept donations during home football games throughout the fall. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Hailey (21teaguea@glnd.k12.va.us), Easton (22bowmane@glnd.k12.va.us), or me (cwcollier@glnd.k12.va.us) with any questions.
