Attention, middle school students! Science Club is starting after school on Thursday, October 22. We’ll be doing a mix of coding activities and hands-on science experiments. Students who are interested in participating should get a permission slip from their homeroom teacher. An after-school snack will be provided, and students can ride the late bus home. We hope to see you there!
A little teamwork, a little competition, and a lot of fun!
This morning, our middle school students were introduced to some exciting new initiatives for the school year!
Mr. Roy began by sharing that October’s theme is Organization and gave students some helpful tips for staying organized and keeping track of their schoolwork. He then introduced students to the LiveSchool system, which will be used to recognize and reinforce positive behaviors throughout the school year.
Students also learned about a new raffle opportunity, where they can earn tickets for a chance to win Amazon gift cards.
Next, it was time to find their houses! Mr. Roy and Mrs. Powderly created a fun team-building activity to introduce students to their new groups, with Mr. Quick and Miss Ceraso also helping with the planning. Puzzle pieces were scattered around the room, with each student’s name on a piece. Students had to find their piece, find the other students with pieces of the same color, and then work together with their house to put the puzzle together.
There was plenty of searching, teamwork, and laughter along the way!
Dr. Dubois even brought out the Sorting Hat to select the teachers who will lead each of the houses. And, of course, no middle school event would be complete without a few dad jokes! Mr. Fantasia wrapped things up by sharing a couple with the students.
It was a fun way to start the month, introduce some new opportunities, and get our students working together. We’re looking forward to seeing what our middle school houses accomplish this year!
