A tradition of winning

Both JV and Varsity practice everyday after school in the GHS strength center. On Saturdays, they travel to other high schools and compete in cheerleading competitions. This season they brought home a total of 8 trophies. The Golden Rams have always been successful in GHSA AAAAAA.

Oh December with your holiday parties, shopping, gift giving and places to be for this month in Gwinnett County! This is one of the busiest times and probably one of the most fun times of the year.

I am told David at Randy’s Nursery has “the sturdy kind that doesn’t mind the snow.”

The gift of giving
By NG3 staff

Aside from the roasted turkeys and broccoli casseroles, the circled gift ideas in the advertisement magazines, the heavy coats and gloves instead of the jackets, and the tacky sweater parties for the folks from the office, the end of the year holds host to enumerable opportunities to serve others. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas, many times the focus is on decorating the mantle and vacuuming before guests arrive or scouring the mall for the perfect present for that one family member for whom you have no gift ideas.
