8^th Graders who applied to Tam’s AVID Program, please return all applications to the front desk.

This Friday the Beyond Differences Club will be hosting our annual No One Eats Alone Day in the gym at lunch. We want to challenge all of you to step outside your traditional comfort zone and move beyond our differences to learn how we are all connected.  We want you to invite others to sit with you or you go sit with another group. We also want to be sure that no student eats alone so remember to look around and be sure that everyone is included and no one is excluded. 7^th and 8^th graders, you probably remember the Beyond Differences’ presentation about social isolation and how it impacts students around the world. We are a community and all interconnected. Sometimes we let our differences stand between us. This Friday we are going to be a true community and bridge the gap between groups, reach out to those classmates who you may never have talked to before, maybe eat lunch with someone in a different grade and get to know someone new. Bring your lunch and come play some games, listen to music, and hang out with someone new! We will provide cookies. If you’re eating, playing or just hanging out on the yard, be sure to mix it up out there too and eat with someone new! And remember that this Friday  - NO ONE EATS ALONE!

Attention all Middle School Students! Our Yearbook Order Deadline is fast approaching! The last day to order yearbooks online is February 28th.  After that date, the only way to purchase a yearbook will be to buy one on a first come first served basis during the last week of school. If you want to ensure that you will get a yearbook, order one online at jostens.com before February 28th! The cost for a yearbook if you order in advance online is $45 – they will be $50 to purchase in person at the end of the year. This week during Panther Time, your teachers will be distributing Confirmation Slips to those of you who have purchased a yearbook already. If you do not get a Confirmation Slip, that means you have not purchased a yearbook. If you have any questions, come see Ms. Zeisler in Room 45.
