Good morning Gig Harbor High School. Today is Monday, March 10 and here are your daily announcements:

March is Women's History Month and this year's national theme is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations." In honor of all the incredible achievements women have made, we'd like to share facts about important women from history. Like Gertrude Ederle, a famous athlete from the1920s. She was the first woman to swim the English Channel. She beat the men's recorded record for this same swim by 2 hours.

The student store is closed today.

CCFE students - You will be in the Library tomorrow testing. Please check with Mr. Davis on your testing time. The library will be closed during testing.

Hey artists! It's time for the Picture Perfect Art Contest, brought to you by the yearbook. You can submit any type of original visual art for a chance to win a $25 Starbucks card! Entries are due March 13th. You can use the QR codes on the posters in the commons or contact Ms. Allen for details.

Calling all underclassmen (including Running Start students), you're invited to try out for cheer! Tryouts will be held in the evenings the week before spring break, April 7th-10th.
