Attention all 8th grade male and female student athletes: The Georgetown High School athletic strength and conditioning program has partnered with Gatorade to provide daily protein bars and shakes at a reduced cost to our student athletes. There are no district or school funds available to support this effort, so it is up to our community to raise the necessary funds and help “Build the Bulldogs”. The estimated annual cost of this program is in the $25k - $30k range so any support you can give would be appreciated and will directly impact hundreds of both male and female student athletes at GHS. We have partnered with a web based fundraising platform called Group Fund that utilizes a direct text approach. Attached you will find instructions on how your student athlete can sign up from their phone, enter contacts, and start fundraising! Each athlete should enter at least 10 contacts (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends, etc.) who will then receive a text explaining the program and how to give. All donations are electronic so no money needs to be collected in person. Let’s all work together to provide our athletes with the proper nutrition necessary to compete at a high level! It is imperative that we have full participation from our rising freshman class to make this a success! Good luck and GO DOGS!!! **All donations made are tax deductible. Once you donate, you'll receive an emailed receipt that you can use for tax purposes. All funds will go through the GHS 501C3 booster club account.

📣 Attention Parents & Guardians 📣 Per Mrs. Langford, please be advised that the English I End-of-Year Exam is scheduled for 🗓️ May 20, 2025. ✅ Make sure your student is well-rested, prepared, and present on this important day!
