Attention students who are in The Followers of Christ club: the group will not meet today. Please stop by the main office if you need to call your parents or guardians.

Students, do you love trivia? Is one of your dreams to be on Jeopardy? Well, then we've got the club for you! The Harper Creek Quizbowl Team is looking to defend its title at the NAACP tournament in February! We are looking for 6th - 8th graders who are ready to learn about black history, pop culture, and more! Our first practice will be right after school on Monday, November 9th. Sign-up sheets are outside Ms. Dempsey's room, near the cafeteria. Hope to see you there!

Thankful Thursday:

As we focus on gratitude this month, let’s take a moment to appreciate something we often take for granted—our health and well-being. Being able to move, learn, think, laugh, and experience the world around us are all things worth being thankful for.

Remember, health and abilities look different for everyone, and that’s okay! We all have different strengths and challenges.

Today’s challenge: Take a moment to appreciate something your body or mind allows you to do, and remember to show kindness and compassion to those whose abilities may be different from your own. A grateful heart and a kind attitude can make a big difference!
