Leader in Me: January Habit of the Month TIP OF THE WEEK: Clearly presenting my ideas and working hard to understand another person’s ideas will make my communication more successful.
Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood: I listen to other people's ideas and feelings. I try to see things from their viewpoint (paradigm). I listen to others without interrupting. I listen with my ears, my eyes, and my heart. I am confident in voicing my ideas.
Middle School Strike Zone
The Strike Zone Award is for students who achieve a 3.75 GPA or higher (no more than one B) on their report card, no more than three absences, and no behavior infractions during this quarter of the school year.
The 2nd Quarter Strike Zone Ceremony will be held in the gym on Thursday, January 30th, at 7:30 AM.
Parents may enter the gymnasium through the south gate beginning at 7:15 AM so we may start on time. Students arriving after 7:30 AM will not be permitted to enter the ceremony and their items will be delivered to their classrooms later in the day.
If you have any questions regarding the Strike Zone please have your student check the listing posted by the gym and talk to Mr. Bethune.
Congratulations to the following students who will be recognized at the 2nd Quarter Strike Zone Ceremony:
Scholastic Book Fair
Our Scholastic Book Fair will be in the gymnasium Friday, January 31st through Friday, February 7th. Each classroom has a set time they will walk through and purchase books (please contact your teacher for details). In addition, STUDENTS may walk through the book fair before school from 7:30-7:55 AM.
The book fair will be open for PARENT walk through Monday through Thursday 8:30 AM - 2:30 PM and Friday 8:30 AM until approximately 10:30 AM. In addition, the book fair will be open during the Grandparents Celebration so that attendees at the event may browse through and purchase books.

Digital payment option for students is eWallet. Parents can create a eWallet for their children to purchase books thru your credit card (with a preauthorized limit). Send your student to shop the fair without handling any cash.
Athletic News Coaches Needed
The TCAL Competitive 5th-8th grade Coed Track and Field, Girls Hockey, Boys Hockey, and Girls Flag Football seasons are coming soon - be on the lookout for registration and tryout information that will be published soon.
We are in desperate need of coaches for BOYS HOCKEY and COED TRACK AND FIELD that begin at the end of February (we have girls flag and girls hockey covered).
If you can help out please contact our Athletic Director, Chad Mollick, as soon as possible for details and mandatory requirements for coaches. Unfortunately, if we do not have coaches for these teams we will not be able to have these sports this season.
