Huge congratulations to the 7th grade class for winning September's LEAD challenge! It was an incredibly close battle with:
7th grade as the top dog
2nd place 6th grade
3rd place 5th grade
Bringing up the rear are our 8th graders.
7th graders your 1st hour LEAD teacher will give you a ticket to redeem an ice cream treat TODAY at lunch. Please write your name on the back and bring it to lunch and grab your treat from Mrs. Schultz and Ms. Whitmyer. The ticket is only valid TODAY, so make sure you bring it with you!
Annnnnnd... for October we will be doing a school-wide challenge! If as a collective 5th-8th grade team we earn over 4,000 LEAD tickets in October by the end of the day Friday, October 23rd, we will earn a Halloween Pep Assembly on October 30th. That's right! If we Learn responsibly, Encourage kindness, Act respectfully and Demonstrate Safety we will earn a THRILLER of a pep assembly! As of this morning... we are at 2,814 LEAD tickets earned in October. So keep on, LEADing on!

Thankful Thursday:
"Take a moment to think about the spaces where you get to create, play, and connect outside of the classroom. Let’s extend our gratitude to our coaches, club advisors, and student leaders. These are the people who give their time, energy, and passion to build environments where we can push ourselves to do our best, leaders to teach us resilience, and celebrate our progress. Thank you to the club leaders and advisors who organize events, spark new ideas, and give us a place to belong. And thank you to everyone behind the scenes—from the transportation department to the clean-up crews—who make these activities possible every single day."
Think about one specific coach, advisor, or peer leader who has made your extracurricular experience better this year. What is one piece of advice they gave that you that you can apply today? Then… thank them for it!
Happy Birthday today to: Uriah Damron, Ariella Henderson, Lincoln Iler, and Junior Pingle
Happy Birthday today to: Fisher Shive, Forest Shive, Alice Wriston, and Lydia Wriston
Happy Birthday over the weekend to: Noah Roberts, Aria Stallworth, and Ms. Jones
