Kudos to…
- ALL ASSOCIATED with the PLAY - WHAT AN OPENING WEEKEND BOFFO PERFORMANCE! - especially Mr. McDonough, Mrs. Peters, Mr. Jones and Mr. Belzer as well as Ms. Edmond and Ms. Tilghman.
- Oscar for all of his work around our building, not only is his work amazing he has taken many of our students under his wing as a mentor. He has been such an positive asset to our building.
- Mr. Perkins and Ms. Brickman for Market Day, what an excellent way for our students to experience learning.

Now it is time for our PBIS vocabulary game….. WORDS WITH FRACULTY
WORDS WITH FRACULTY! This week’s intellectually snobbish, impractical, obsolete, and vacuous word will be stated on the announcements. Students will be challenged to use the word in its proper context per the appropriate content area to gain prexie love in their classes.
THIS WEEKS WORD: BOFFO - a success, very popular.
The cast of the GWMS production of Hairspray had a boffo performance in their opening weekend.
STAFF MEETING Agenda

HALLWAY SUPPORT AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Please stand in the middle of the hallways and actively monitor and support students on their way to class. We need to perform as a unified team in this respect. The power of the many is what makes transitions smooth and orderly. Simply put, we cannot do this alone.
Saturday School
There IS Saturday School this Saturday.
Please make sure you fill out the Saturday School referral form and send all work to the 7th grade office for Ms. Benitez to have ready for the students when they check in.
