The middle school will be honoring a new student every week for "dude.we.see.you." This is an award where students nominate other students for the kind things they do. Congratulations to this week's winner, Ben Thelen! He stood up for another student that was being teased, which is not always easy to do. Awesome job, Ben!

Our Student Council handed out cookies to all middle school students and staff today for National Christmas Cookie day. Not a bad way to start a Monday!

Congratulations to Miss Ingold for being chosen for the News 25 "One Class at a Time"! The news came to videotape Miss Ingold and her 2nd Hour class in action today and give her a check for $1000. I'm not exactly sure when this will air, but keep your eyes peeled for their faces on TV!
