A week with rain always adds energy on the campus.  Unfortunately, the rain caused some damage in one of our portables.  Luckily Mr. Piper quickly noticed the situation, moved the students to another area of the room, and kept the learning moving forward.  By the time I made it out to the portable, I didn't even notice a problem.


Ms. Oh, one of our awesome counselors, started 6th grade guidance lessons this week. 
So much is happening next week. First we are celebrating the end of the first six weeks with PAWS for Fun. This reward is during 6th period Monday.  Ask your student if they get to participate. 

It is homecoming week. Here is a list of everything happening.
