Happy Full Moon,
This has been quite a month with the Mighty Meatball, Battle of the Books, and Forensics. The rest of the month should be fairly quiet, if you don't count the end of quarter 6th Graders vs. Staff basketball game. I think we can give them a run for their money as long as they don't run too fast.
I wish I could accurately predict the weather. If I could I would make a lot of money and I could make a call on when to end the requirement of wearing snow pants. For now, the playground is still covered with ice, so we will stick with the warm gear for now.
Best wishes.
Doug Hayman
Principal

Health tip from Mrs. Abel
“Psychologist Abraham Maslow developed a ‘hierarchy of needs’ to help illustrate how more basic needs should be met before a person is likely to be motivated to fulfill higher needs. For example, a person needs to have food, shelter, and positive relationships before he or she will likely be motivated by needs for accomplishment or achievement.”
