“One person with courage makes a majority.”
Hello 8th Graders!
The deadline has been extended to turn in your Graduation permission
slips and donations. Please turn them TODAY to your Panther Time teachers.
Lunchtime reminders:
Pick up your trash and dispose of it appropriately after you finish eating;
there is no food allowed on the field or the play structures. Bring a
non-breakable water bottle to school and stay hydrated on warm days.
Students! We will begin
state testing next week. In preparation, you should be eating well, getting
enough sleep and staying hydrated. MOST IMPORTANTLY, plan on bringing your
wired headphones every day if you have them. Testing will require wired
headphones- no airpods or other wireless versions can be used. Testing begins
next Tuesday.
Ms. Varboncoeur &
Ms. Grimes want to give a big shout out to their Earth Club members who worked
hard on preparing and running the Earth Day Faire yesterday at lunch! You all
demonstrated great initiative and perseverance working towards a long-term goal
and seeing it through, congratulations! We will celebrate at Earth Club next
Monday and don't forget to attend the lunch & learn on Thursday at lunch!
Also, thank you to all
of the students and teachers who participated in the Earth Day Faire! It was

If you haven’t already,
please power off your phones and other electronic devices for the school day
