*A Message From Mrs. Barousse

As you know, I have served as SMS' Assistant Principal this school year and in that time, I have been warmly welcomed into the role and have come to understand that the students, staff, and families are at the core of what make East Greenwich a special school district. That is why it is with immense pride and great enthusiasm that I introduce myself as the Principal of Samuel Mickle School, effective May 1st. I am overwhelmed with gratitude and truly appreciate the warm wishes that have been extended by families over the past few days. Maintaining a positive school culture and strong educational program is my utmost priority. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you ever have any questions. I look forward to working together!

• Our current Buzzworthy trait is now Integrity.

The purpose of the Character Dare process is to build habits of character by offering consistent, practical ways to engage in the practice of these sometimes-abstract traits. A weekly (and sometimes daily) exercise and check-in around something like kindness helps bring the character trait to life in our real relationships and provides a system for regular conversation and action.

"Integrity" character dare choice boards will be due on May 3rd.
