BikeMobile Comes to Gunn
TODAY, Fri, Aug 19, 2:15-5:15 PM, near the Village
BikeMobile will provide FREE bike tune-ups for Gunn students and staff! They fix flat tires, adjust brakes and gears, and replace broken or worn out parts like chains, seats, and tires. They cannot replace missing wheels or gears. While BikeMobile mechanics work on your bike they'll explain how it works and how to keep your ride running smoothly. Space is limited, and bikes will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Whether or not you have a bike that needs to be fixed, come learn about bicycle maintenance, bike safety, and more!

Gunn Teams Still Taking New Athletes
It's not too late to join a sport team! Gunn's Football, Cross Country and Girl's Water Polo teams are still looking for new athletes who are interested in joining. Joining a sport team is a great way to make new and lasting friendships, show your Gunn spirit and pride, and get some excercise in too! If you're interested in joining one of the sport teams, you can contact the team's coach or just show up at a practice and go for it!! The coaches contact information and team practice times are both listed on the Gunn website under the athletics tab. GO TITANS!!
Attention Parents of Seniors
Deadline: Oct 28
Every year, the yearbook staff sets aside a portion of the yearbook for Senior Baby Ads. These ads allow parents of seniors to honor their child and send them a supporting message. Graduation from high school is a noteworthy step in every child's life that surely makes every parent proud. As a long-standing tradition at Gunn, these Senior Baby Ads help celebrate this monumental achievement. See the attached form, and be sure to start putting this together for our October 28 deadline.
