The Middle School Campus students (Grades 6, 7, and 8) were issued the first ever Challenge Coin Hunt. A special Coin was hidden somewhere outside on the Middle School Campus and clues were released each day to help students find its location. The clues were meant to make the students think and problem solve in an effort to find the coin. There was a prize that went along with the coin, and the student who found it got to keep the coin and the prize! This year, the coin was found twice, first by sixth graders Sophia Schwarz and Elizabeth Schoen and then by seventh grade student Hayden Reppel, with the help of Jake Hall, Reaghan Henderson, and Landon Pearsall. Congratulations!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month! This year, Mental Health America is challenging students to look around and within. Look around - take time to notice your surroundings and look within - how do your surroundings affect you? We encourage you to check in on yourself daily and reach out for support when you need to. At the Whitesboro Middle School and throughout the district, we support mental health and will join the Light Up Green campaign. Our clock tower will remain illuminated with the color green throughout the month! Students are also encouraged to participate in a quick daily mental health activity to continue to focus on their overall well-being. A healthy mind is unbeatable - Happy Mental Health Month!

This month during Social Studies classes students received a Digital Citizenship training from professionals at ICAN. Students learned about the impact social media can have on relationships and ways students can make better choices and engage in positive interactions online. Positive social media outcomes such as friendships, sense of belonging, interest groups, community, support, activism and advocacy, self-expression and creativity, access to information were topics discussed. Negative social media outcomes such as excessive usage, false sense of reality, loss of meaningful connection, misinformation, and social comparison were further topics discussed. Cyberbullying, how to handle it and where to seek help was also included in the presentation.

If you have questions or concerns about your child and the online environment please contact your child's school counselor.
