The student leadership team is holding a canned food drive this week Students who wish to participate should bring nonperishable items to Mr. Miller's room during the week of the 11th. The grade that brings in the most food items will be rewarded with pizza at lunch. The SLT got a head start when they went trick-or-treating for food on Halloween. Check out their haul below!
Middle school students, staff, and families are rabid consumers of social media. As with many things, how adults interact and respond to social media is very different than how our students do. Adult brains are physically different from adolescent brains and therefore we process the feedback we get from social media very differently. This article from Psychology Today summarizes the impacts of social media on middle level brains and offers suggestions for monitoring use. If your student uses social media, please consider monitor their usage time, following their accounts (all of them as they probably have more than one Instagram and Snapchat account), and encouraging non-tech social interactions. There are many positive aspects to social media, but it can also have a very negative impact on students and their learning. Please help us create and sustain a healthy school community by monitoring your student's social media.
