This past Tuesday, we showed our students what it's like to have an old school pep rally! We had the band playing in the halls along with our cheerleaders chanting as we escorted our students to the gym. We recognized our fall sports teams along with our 8th grade players. Our band and cheerleaders did a fabulous job hyping up our football team for their last home game of the season! We also had some old fashion fun competitions including tug of war & leap frog! We definitely made some noise! It brought so much joy to our staff and students to bring back this great tradition. We're already planning for the next pep rally!
Our cookie dough sale is in full swing! Our grade levels are competitive and it's very close. Our energetic and enthusiastic 5th graders have a slight lead over our 7th graders. Perhaps, our 6th and 8th graders will show them how it's done this coming week! This is our first big fundraiser and we are definitely looking forward to providing future fun events and activities for our student body from the proceeds.
Parents please remind your students to keep their hands to themselves.This includes everything from hand holding to horseplay and all things tik tok, etc. It may seem silly in middle school to have this reminder but this prevents minor issues from escalating by observing this one act of self discipline. We will continue to take this matter seriously until everyone can maintain the motto of hands to themselves.
We had a fantastic week! We kicked off our cookie dough with assemblies, followed by another afternoon of pep rally fun, we've celebrated 8th grade night with Football & Volleyball (soccer is Tuesday), hosted a medley of after school clubs and ended the week with a camo themed Fun Friday with concessions. Academically, we've wrapped up screener testing, started RTI classes and some 5th grade tutoring. We're just over half way through the first quarter and we are noticing improvements at every turn!
