COUNSELING CORNER
Keeping on Top of Your Work
It is the responsibility of each student to complete homework assignments – even when he or she is absent from school. With some planning and follow through, students can avoid falling behind.
In addition, here are a few pointers for staying on top of homework:
· Routinely check QMLATIV for missing or late work
· Have your student login to Canvas to complete assignments for class
· Have your student email their teacher if they are going to miss class
· Keep communication open with teachers and counselors especially if you have questions about an assignment or how things are graded

CROSS COUNTRY TEAM OF THE MONTH
Please congratulate our Franklin Pierce Boys Varsity Cross Country Team.
They were selected by the WIAA as the 2A Team of the Month for their outstanding performance on the course and in the classroom
The top four boys on the team are all Seniors, each bringing their unique strengths to the season. Seniors Erik Kramarevskiy and Alex Venable are both pursuing their AA degrees at Pierce College while completing high school. Senior Mason Oleson-Borland has been an active Leadership student for four years, serving in multiple roles including Class President and Executive Officer. Senior Cole Hoover, with a cumulative GPA of 3.95, is expanding his learning by taking additional courses at Pierce County Skills Center.
The remaining varsity team members bring a mix of youth and talent. Sophomore Matthew Pulido, who was voted "Rookie of the Year" by his peers last year, recently set a personal record with a time of 18:38. Freshmen Gevin Pfiffer and Sam Lewis have already achieved a combined three personal records this season and continue to impress with their progress.
It's an exciting time for the team as they push themselves to new heights!
