Papers are posted all over the high school walls promoting what is happening now and coming soon, some serving as call-to-actions and others being informational. 

Dodge For a Cause 

Flyers around the school were promoting sign-ups for this year’s Mini-THON. Push Week Incentives were recently shared on the GS Mini-THON Instagram, @gsminithon, motivating students to donate towards the fight against childhood cancer. 

“The constant is to raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer,” Faculty advisor Mr. Matthew Boe said. “We try to go about that in different ways, learning from previous years, keeping in mind what went well and what didn’t. We try to continue to add something new, different twists to keep it exciting.” 

The incentives start with pieing Mr. Demary in the face at $5,000 raised, ending with the leadership team going skydiving at $50,000. 

Blessing Bags 

“Blessing Bags” are being promoted as well; a movement to put together as many bags as possible, filled with necessities such as toiletries, food, clothes and other small things anyone could find useful. The goal is to have bags available at GS Threads, as well as giving them to people within the school for handing out. 

“We still need more items before we can build viable bags,” NHS faculty advisor Mrs. Cheryl Harper said. “We are getting there, but it has slowed down a lot. … We are still taking donations.” 

Bio-Club 

GSHS’ Bio club took donations for their Humane Society Donation Drive, all of which went to Westmoreland’s Humane Society. Cleaning products, animal care products and other supplies were taken during first block classes from January 29^th until February 9^th.  

Golden Lion Shoppe 

Located across from the cafeteria, The Golden Lion Shoppe is now open on Tuesdays and Thursdays during advisory. 

 “We wanted to give students the opportunity to practice job and social skills,” Faculty advisor Mrs. Leisa Ecklund said. “We’re selling snacks, like chips, drinks, cookies, as well as some school supplies.” 

Prom 

Tickets for this year’s Prom will soon be available, starting March 25^th. A special presale will begin on March 18^th and end on the 22^nd. Forms will be located outside of room 352 and are due to Mr. Gazze by 3:00 pm on April 5^th. 

Folio 

Folio is now taking submissions for its 40^th issue, asking students to consider sharing any artworks or writings for this year’s release. The magazine will be printed in full color once again. Submissions are due by April 2^nd. 

“It’s a great way of bringing attention to how much talent we have at Greensburg Salem,” Folio editor Ariana Case said. “I think it also inspires others to create.”
