PREPARATION FOR KICK-OFF: Kathleen Overbeck, GKOM sponsor and English teacher, discusses which color paper to use for GKOM Training Day pamphlets with senior Whitney Blew. Training Day, which took place on May 16, prepared the 2008-2009 school year’s GKOMs to mentor the incoming freshmen. Although over 500 students applied to become a GKOM next year, only 240 of those were accepted. GKOMs will meet with their freshmen SRTs on Freshman Kick-off Day Aug. 8 and will meet periodically with the classes for the rest of the school year in approximately five GKOM meetings.
