Counseling Corner
Attention 8th grade families:
Franklin high school counselors came to Kellogg on Thursday. Here is a link to their presentation and the google forecasting form that needs to be submitted by 2/16/24. Students must be logged into their PPS accounts to access the googleform.
McDaniel High School is providing virtual support to students to help them with forecasting. The options are February 14 from 10-10:30 and February 21st 2-2:30. I will pull students from class and support them in logging into the virtual forecasting session.
REAP
Hi all,
My name is Altynai Watson (she/her) a Youth Essentials Coordinator for REAP (a community partner) here at Kellogg MS for this academic year! I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to teachers and families so you are aware of who I am at the school.
~ A little about me ~
I am an adoptee who was born in Almaty, Kazakhstan but grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I went to school at the University of Puget Sound and studied Psychology.
~Here is a little about what I do ~
REAP is a multicultural leadership organization where students can feel empowered by whatever their hopes and dreams are, regardless of their background. I work with students one-on-one to discuss goals or challenges they may be having at school or at home and we support and uplift student lives by giving them opportunities for student voice. In addition to one on one's during each day, we also have after-school programming (Tuesday and Thursday) where students will build skills regarding leadership and personal development. Lastly, we do have occasional events (Young Women of Purpose & Young Men of Purpose) where students can be engaged and connected with professionals in the community. We have more programs and other opportunities too that we provide for all students in the variety of school districts we serve so feel free to follow up with any questions you may have!
Please feel free to reach out to me via email (altynaiw@reapusa.org) or come find me in Room 111 for any comments, questions, or concerns. Look forward to connecting!
Save the Date for a upcoming event occurring next month for young women to connect with professionals in the community on March 8th at the Oregon Zoo. Transportation and food is provided. *This is a professional attire event* Sign up via the QR code on the flyer attached

Lunch
A number of students have been bringing lunch from home, such as ramen noodles. Unfortunately, we do not have a student microwave. We are seeing a large influx of students in the office waiting for our staff to microwave their lunches in the staff lounge. We will no longer be accommodating this request in the new quarter. Please speak with your children about alternative lunch options. Thank you!
