GB100 Trivia Question …

Ok Panthers, here’s our first GB100 trivia contest …

Which teacher, counting years after 1960, had the longest teaching career at GB? (ie don’t count teaching years in 1959 or earlier)

We’ll do a random draw at our May 7 Alumni Re-Connect and the first entry that we pull with the correct answer will win an official GB hoodie!!!

Everyone at the Re-Connect will get an entry into the draw. We’ll announce the winner and correct answer at the Re-Connect on May 7 and will post here shortly afterwards.

Contest for Class Year With Most Attending

For May 7, near the lunchroom (our main event room), we’ll also have 3 classrooms.  We’ll be reserving at least one of them for the class year with the most people attending our May 7 event.

If your class signs up at least 20 people, you’ll get the room all to yourselves. For smaller sign-ups, we might split the room for two classes to share.

So far, classes of ’77 and ’84 appear to be in a neck-and-neck race, with several people signed up each so far!

MAY 7 – CALLING REFRESHMENTS VOLUNTEERS

Just one month to go before our GB Alumni Re-Connect … time to iron out details!
