“Who, then, is free? The wise man who can govern himself.”

Hey Panthers, it’s almost Halloween!

Let’s see who is the best dressed teen!

Come to the costume contest that has so many different themes!

Every winner will get an award, so we hope you’re on board!

Here are the categories: most original, elegant, funniest, look-alike, most creative group, and scary.

This year’s contest will be legendary!

Remember, Tuesday, October 31^st at lunch.

Hope to see you there for a really big scare!

The costume contest will be held outside the gym in the 8^th grade lunch area.

Get ready to race TODAY at lunch Panthers!!  You can also turn in any new ticket sales.  The top sellers by grade are listed at the bottom of the stairs by the pods. Top 3 sellers get lunch off campus during school and pick a prize like an instant camera, drone or skateboard.  Woody’s ice cream will come on campus and serve ice cream in cones to each top 3 panther classes.  Keep selling, win big and support your school!!!

  

Hello fans of Martin and Caitlin from I Will Always Write Back: We are excited to announce that Caitlin will be here on Friday, November 3^rd to speak to the entire school in assemblies for each grade level. We need your help generating good questions to ask her. And, for super fans, there is also an opportunity to have lunch with Caitlin that day. If you are interested in asking Caitlin a question or having lunch with her, go to the school library home page and fill out a brief questionnaire. Also, if you are finished with your book and would like to pass it along to another student at another school, please bring it to your Panther Time teacher by Wednesday, November 1^st.

Students: are you looking for a great way to start the week? Then come to Mindful Mondays- a club that will meet before school on Monday mornings from 7:45-8:30am in the multimedia room. Our meetings are intended to help you learn more about your minds, yourselves and how mindfulness and meditation can bring more happiness into your life while helping you to deal with stress, anxiety, grief and other uncomfortable emotions and situations. Let's enjoy each other's company while we connect and learn tools for our well being. For more information or to sign up, please see your counselor.
