The carnival starts directly after school, and students are allowed to stay. There will be inflatables, a dunk tank, a backload slide, Midway games, snow cones, cotton candy, pony rides, ice cream, a lemonade truck, and food trucks. Tickets are four for a $1.00. 

Fall Parent-Teacher Conferences are now available to schedule for your student. Please take a moment to sign up for a conference with your student’s teachers. The link and QR code are on the middle school website also.

Students: Please remember that applying paint to your body is not allowed today. Thank you for your cooperation!

Please listen carefully: After the assembly, everyone must go back to their 7th hour class. When we release at 2:40, students who are staying for the carnival. If you are a 5th or 6th grader you must report to the auditorium. If you are in 7th or 8th grade, you must report to the main gym. We will release you from there when the carnival is ready.

Face of Friday:

Today’s Face-Off-Friday is a race!

Teachers, identify your best speed walking student in your class.

Got ‘em? Good!  We are looking for the first student to complete the following and make it to the office without running!

When I say go… you are in a speed walking race (if you run you will be disqualified… we are watching the cameras!) to get 5 high fives without repeating from the following people…

  1. Coach

  2. Lunch Staff

  3. Gen Z Teacher

  4. Boomer Teacher

  5. Secretary

Good luck and may the best beaver win!
