Thanks to Nicole and Melissa L for all the hard work they put into Red Ribbon Week, between the Banner, the Hearts, Mix it up Lunch, and Tunes Tuesday, it was a huge success.

16 Conversation starters for struggling students:

Today we will finish off Red Ribbon Week with a 3 Screen Assembly.  5th and 6th will watch Be More Awesome at 1:00pm, and 7th and 8th will watch Piercing the Darkness at 1:45pm.  Because of the tight time frame I may call the 5th and 6th grade a few minutes early.

Thanks to Adrienne who served as a Mixologist at Menchies last night for PTA's Chef's Night Out, its great to have our teachers working with the PTA in such a way when the profits raised goes back to our school.

I'm looking forward to my first fall sports award night this coming Wednesday, what a great way to honor all of our Fall Athletes.

I was able to see Shakespeare come alive in Mr. Wadman's class as the students really got into their introduction of Macbeth, also students started discovering simple machines in Mrs. Adam's very hands on lesson in Stem.  I am also looking forward to watching some of the Outsider's movies that Danielle's students have made.  Thanks to all of the teachers for bringing the content to life and having students meaningfully engaged.

Thanks to Mark, Colleen, Jim, and Melissa F for staying after hours for a science presentation from Discovery Education.  In addition to the science materials we learned all about some great tools that everyone can use already with the subscription service we already pay for.  More information to follow.
