Middle School Principal’s Letter
Thank you for taking the time to read this week’s version of the News and Views. We had another solid week of learning, exploring and having fun.
In grade 8 students are working on the Poetry analysis.
During our X-Block, some of our students spent their time reading to Kindergarten kids today. The “Be a Reading Buddy” idea was born from understanding that the X Block options should ignite students’ interests and motivate them to try something new. Reading aloud has been an area they have been eager to explore in class. The experience was enriching for our youngsters who felt empowered by this activity and were challenged to be good role models and engaging readers. Here are some photos from the visit.
On Wednesday we had our House event. It was a Trivia challenge and it gave students an opportunity to learn and have fun working collectively together.
The annual Talent Show takes place tonight from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm. Tickets will be sold at the gate if you need to purchase one. Every year we have surprises and you don’t want to miss out on this year’s surprise.
A reminder – if you have already signed up – that The World Needs A Father event will be taking place this Saturday, February 8th in the ES hall. We are looking forward to welcoming everyone who has signed up for the event.
A reminder that next week we will have our annual Valentine’s Social. This event is usually well attended and our students always have an evening of good, clean fun. Social will start at 5:00 pm and end at 7:00 pm. We are kindly requesting that all parents are on time to pick up their child after the Social ends.
Thanks for your continuous support of the middle school.
In Partnership,
Courtney Bailey
Middle School Principal
