CMSS MONDAY MESSAGE...
September 19, 2016
R.E.A.L. Panthers
RESPECT, EXPLORE, ACHIEVE, LEAD
EVERY OPPORTUNITY...
Message from the Boss...
The first half of the video just hurts my heart...but what I see at MSS is the second half of the "Every Opportunity" video. Be sure you are taking those opportunities for every child because EVERY CHILD IS WORTH IT!
- School is hard enough.
- Challenge students to be there best!
- Everyone can make a difference.
- Talk with us and not at us. Share yourself with us.
- Give us courage and compassion.
- Help students find their voice.
Reminders:
- Wednesday is the Anti-Bullying Assembly. Be sure to discuss appropriate assembly behavior.
- The RTI Team (former Sprint Committee) will begin meeting next week. The Team will be developing the expectations and procedures for bringing students to the RTI Team. Those expectations and procedures will be shared with the whole faculty afterwards.
- Fall Pictures on Thursday, Sept. 22nd. Hope Larson put a schedule in your boxes on Tuesday.
I have missed ya'll this week and look forward to being back in the building.
Have a restful weekend!
Love you,
Casey Hanna

R.E.A.L. Panther Committee
The R.E.A.L. Panther Committee has worked really hard to make school fun and rewarding.
R.E.A.L. Rewards: front of lunch line pass (we will allow the last weeks winners to participate) When students receive their Reward I will also pass out a card for them to use in the cafeteria.
R.E.A.L. Teacher Award: parking space, Sonic drink, one from 5th, one from 6th, one essential/support. Forms for kids to nominate will be sent out. When we have R.E.A.L. Panther Assemblies we will recognize the R.E.A.L. Teacher Award.
R.E.A.L. Panther nomination forms for students will be sent out soon.
I am waiting on the R.E.A.L. Panther t-shirts to come in before we set the first assembly date. My hope is we will have the first assembly Friday, September 23rd.

Great job on fire drill last week. Be sure that when students exit your classroom that the classroom door closes. Several doors were left open.
