RACHEL'S CHALLENGE ASSEMBLIES TODAY
Today, we held three different assemblies with Rachel's Challenge. The presenter did a great job connecting with our students and giving them tips for how to be kind and inclusive towards others. Students were very receptive to the presentations and did a fantastic job with their behavior and attention. We will continue to work through class meetings on helping our students connect with each other and collaborate in positive ways this year.
The program was fully funded through federal grants and selected by our teachers. Again, if you would like to review the program descriptions on their webpage you can do so under Live Programs. Please talk with your child about the assembly and what they learned from it.
NEW GIRLS SOCCER COACH
We are pleased to announce Mr. Rich Austin as our new middle level girls soccer head coach! He is really passionate for the success of this new program and for this opportunity for our students. Look for more information coming out from Coach Austin soon including interest form, optional pre-season conditioning, and tryouts.
