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!

Hey Students! Bring in your Box Tops for Education and turn them in to Ms. Thebaut’s room 92. Every box top means money for our student activities!

Attention all Middle School Students! Our Yearbook Order Deadline is fast approaching!

“Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow- red, yellow, brown, black and white… America is not like a blanket- one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt- many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread. All of us count and all of us fit somewhere.”

A great big shout out to all the students who created a valentine for a veteran as part of the Valentines for Vets program. Over the three days you created over 150 beautifully decorated cards with heartfelt notes that are sure to brighten the day of every recipient. Great job Students!
