I hope everyone has something special planned for next week, even if that is just catching up on tv shows an sleeping in. #ChristmasMovieSeason

Here at Briscoe we are thankful to get to work in a great community with amazing children.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Dear Briscoe Middle School families,

In 2 weeks, we will be kicking off our Briscoe MS Apex Color Games fundraiser!

For 2 weeks, students will be encouraged to get donations from family and friends to help their school. Each student will receive an access code to log into their personal Apex page on our website (Anython.com) which can track all donations they receive. A minimum of $30 raised is required to participate in the Color Games event on Friday, December 13th. Students can earn packets of color powder to be thrown and launched in the air during the games. It’s awesome!!

This is our major PTA fundraiser for the semester and we are raising funds for 8th grade Dance, Field Day and Teacher Grants for Classroom Supplies!

On Tuesday, December 3rd, we will introduce the fundraiser with a LAUNCH RALLY!

During the launch rally, we will show students how to use the fundraising website by suggesting they pull out their cell phones to log into their individual donation page at Anython.com. We’ll show them how to share a link to their page via email, SMS text, Facebook and/or Twitter with potential sponsors including family and family friends. The purpose of this is to demo the site so students understand how to use it as well as to kick-off the fundraiser for students/parents who wish to participate.

If you would prefer that your student not participate in the share challenge portion of the launch rally, please just advise your student not to use their cell phone at that time.

**

TO PREPARE FOR TUESDAY’S KICK-OFF

In preparation for this kick-off, we will ask students to come to the launch rally with at least 20 phone numbers of family and family friends (potential sponsors). You can email them this list so students can open it on their phone to use at the launch rally. This step is extremely crucial to a successful launch to our fundraiser.

Thank you for your continued support!

Christina Rather, Principal & Briscoe PTA

Briscoe hosted their first Spanish spelling bee. Anvi took first and Etzli is our runner up.

Viva la estudiantes!

Some of our students mentioned that some fencing materials were dumped on the road between Hoffman and Briscoe. Our 2nd period engineering students went as a group to assess whether the material could be used for our class. After deciding the material was too rotten to use, they were able to help clean up the fence materials that were dumped and help beautify the campus.

Coach Dubuque and I held our 2nd annual track and field olympics yesterday. Athletes from Briscoe come to engage with students and participate in the curriculum while building relationships.

Volunteer opportunities available at Briscoe for 6th, 7th and/or 8th grade lunches in November and December. Help with the Bengal Buggy, which rewards good behavior. Donations for our "store" also welcome. Sign up to volunteer or donate via the provided links. Thank you!

Former Bengals, Zac and Adelyn, represented Northside at the State Meet last weekend.

Zac is a Senior this year at Brennan. He will be signing to run at University of Houston next year, majoring in Engineering. He was super excited to represent our community and attributes his running successes to Coach Dawson who encouraged him to pursue track when he was at Briscoe.

Adelyn, who graduated from Briscoe last year, also ran at the state meet. She squeezed in the last regional spot to make into state as a Freshman.

Students from 6th, 7th, and 8th grades with all different levels of sports knowledge are welcome to participate. Our first gathering will be on November 6th in Coach Schryver's classroom, B110.
