“There is not shortcut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation.”

Hey students, we are holding our first community service event of the year! On Wednesday, October 24^th at lunchtime in the conference room, come help make hygiene kits made up of toiletries and other supplies during our HELP THE HOMELESS event! You and your parents can donate if you haven’t already… there is a Signup Genius in the Panther Press.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet.  The warming planet is responsible for weather changes that have increased the frequency and intensity of storms, caused persistent droughts in some regions, and resulted in rising sea levels that will force millions of people to move.  We have to take steps now to face the challenges of a warmer planet.  What can you do?  What will you do?  We live in One World…Join the club…

Did you like reading about Isabel, Mahmood and Joseph? Come to the library at lunch on Friday where Mr. Maldonado will share his own story. He was a refugee who had to escape Guatemala when he was just five years old. The library will be open for students attending Mr. Maldonado's talk or for quiet reading and homework Friday, but closed for games.

Calligraphy reminder! Class will meet in room 36 at 7:30am on Wednesday!

Attention all 7th graders: If you are interested in playing in the lunch football league, please sign-up in Room 85 during Recess and Lunch. Any questions please see Mr.O’Dea.
