Sharing the Joy of Middle School...
Each and every day provides a reason to smile at HBMS. Tomorrow, in standard Halloween fashion, we eagerly anticipate the outcome of our teachers work together to decorate our pods. This is a tradition that started with the opening of the middle school, and it never fails to amaze us. Our teachers plan, coordinate, and WORK before and after school to bring smiles to our students faces.
For our teams of teachers, this is a stiff cooperative competition! Anyone paying close attention will know that last year, our 7th grade team of teachers narrowly edged out our two-time champion 5th grade team...who several years back just narrowly defeated the reigning champ 6th grade team, who held "the title" for many years running.
What do I enjoy most about all of this? Our students get to see another side of our teachers' personalities. They get to see the results of hard work and teamwork. And we all can make some time to have FUN...together.
Middle school today can sometimes feel like "serious business". But on day when "kids can be kids" and adults can feel like kids again, we can all agree, we should take more time to share the joys of middle school. They are everywhere!
And, if you'd like to see more of "the joys of middle school", check us out, on our website or our Twitter feed. Let us know what you think!
Have a Safe and Happy Halloween!
Sincerely,
Dennis Schug
