Our first middle school winner is Karter Brown! Here is what his teachers said about him: Karter is a true leader of this school. He is respectful, responsible, caring, and hard-working. He always puts in his full effort in the classroom, on the field (cross country), and in student council. He displays kindness towards everyone in and out of the building and is an overall GOOD HUMAN! Great job, Karter!

During our opening assembly today, we celebrated our fantastic Fall MAP scores and gave certificates to our students who had the highest percentages and to those who showed the greatest growth. I know taking these tests is not always fun, but these students knocked it out of the park!

Today, students running for Student Council seats gave speeches in front of the entire middle school. I am so proud of them!

On Thursday, students in 8th grade Enriched Literature worked on a hexagonal thinking activity. They took characters and concepts from the story they are reading (Flowers for Algernon) and arranged them to show how they were connected. Students also had to write out what those connections were. Each group had a completely different looking arrangement.

Picture Day is next week, September 17th-19th!

Congratulations to this week's dude.we.see.you winner, Brighton Blackert!

Our first GHES recipient was Ms. Fiveland. Here is a snippet from what we shared about Ms. Fiveland: We are so grateful for the positive energy she brings to our school every single day. She is the friendly face that welcomes everyone who walks through the office doors—students, teachers, and families alike. Her humor and kindness make the office not just a workspace, but a fun, warm, and welcoming place for the entire school community.

Thank you Ms. Fiveland for the joy, laughter, and genuine care you share with us all—you truly embody the spirit of service!
