Positive Start
Congratulations to our five middle school students who are being recognized by The Exchange Club of Bowling Green for their Positive Start!
Isaac Douglass is a wonderfully positive influence on his classmates. He always shows a willingness to engage in the work at hand and has great empathy for those around him.
Sophi Hachtel is able to use her "think outside the box" skills to help others problem solve and experiment. Her artistry and imagination have been a wonderful contribution to the classroom. She loves to use words to add depth to classroom conversations.
Thomas Long's drive to progress through his personalized math curriculum has taken him to a level that would not seem possible. His motivation to move past more difficult concepts and create his own understanding is a wonderful example to others.
JJ Poiry has made huge strides in "finding his groove." He works diligently on the tasks presented and adds, wonderfully, to explorations and discussions.
Alexa Whyte is a quiet, bright spot in the classroom. She has an intuitive ability to think about concepts from a unique perspective without imposing her viewpoint on others. Her willingness to share her thoughts while respecting different points of view is an invaluable addition to the atmosphere of the classroom.

Library News
Summer Reading
Visit the Library and Get Ready for Summer Reading!
Stop into the MSBG library beginning next week and pick up a summer reading list! By now you've likely begun to think about vacation plans, and signing up the kids for summer camp, but don't forget that summer is also a wonderful opportunity to focus on reading.
Not only is there nothing quite like stretching out on the beach or finding a nice sturdy tree branch and getting lost in a book, but did you know that research suggests that students who read during the summer are less likely to experience "summer slide" when they return to school in the fall?
Beginning next week, until the end of the year, Miss Rachel will have available in the library summer reading lists, as well as other summer reading activities. Be sure to stop in and check them out!
