Eagle Empire Update
November 1, 2020
Hello Eagles,
New to our bell schedule this year is an Advisory period. Advisory is a 20 minute time block is attached to either periods 3 or 4. The purpose of this time is to check in with the social emotional health and academic progress of our students. Additionally, we can use this time for school announcements, counseling updates and safety drills.
During this past week we asked our students about how they are spending their "Magic Bank" Account. That's the 86,400 seconds they get everyday! Please click below to view a quick video clip created by our ASB students and News Network staff. As we move into a month traditionally designated for giving thanks, I hope your family discusses what you appreciate and offer gratitude for the amazing things that happen during the 86,400 seconds of the day!
Next week our Campus will celebrating Red Ribbon Week. During Advisory, our students will be watching a video on the impact of Vaping. A special thanks to our Mending Matters Therapists for organizing this great resource. We'll be sharing the video in our next Eagle Empire update. Below is a special sneak peak at our Student Red Ribbon Week contest. We hope our students will participate and win an awesome Spirit Pack!
Lastly, I wanted to take a moment and offer our deepest thanks and appreciation to all of the parents who support their child, teachers and Granite Staff. I am not only a Principal, but also a father. I know parenthood is my toughest but most valuable job. Each day when my two kids go to school, I trust their school communities will teach them with compassion and respect. Thank you for allowing us to do the same for your children. It truly is an honor serve your family and Granite community.
I hope you all continue to stay well and enjoy each of your 86,400 seconds per day!
Mr. Fowler
