Quote of the Week:

Nuts and Bolts:

• Happy Thanksgiving Week everyone! Thanksgiving kicks off an exciting couple of months to celebrate with our students and teammates. Have a great start to the holiday season!
• REMINDER: You will see buckets around this week for our Gooble for Pennies effort to raise money for families in need in our district. $30 pays for nearly an entire meal for a family through the organization our elementary buildings work with. Thank you to the 5th grade team for bringing this neat program to the MS and HS! Lets see which Homeroom can raise the most for these families!
• The Orange Frog team visited VA this week for their workshop and training to bring back an exciting and practical way to help us see the power of choosing happiness in each day. I believe the team had a great experience and is excited to share their learning with us all.
• Thank you for bringing the excitement to the annual rope pull event last week, it was a big hit with the student body this year!
• TLT Meetings
  • 5-12 Teacher leaders David, Brittni, and Ann will have meetings with Rick and Josh each Monday at 2:30.
