Jarrett Payton Visit with 8th Graders:
His anti-bullying presentation was very positive and his message was well received. His focus was on being a kind individual and reaching out to others. In a nutshell, he reminded our 8th Grade students of the following:
- Regarding Social Media - Be careful what you put out there. Make sure it is a reflection of who you are as a person. Once you post/text something, you can't take it back. It's out there. If you don't want mom or grandma to read it, you shouldn't post/text it.
- Be careful what you say - Once you say it, it's out there and your words matter.
- Take advantage of the time you have today to make a difference. Be a better person. Be kind to someone else.
- #begreat - find out what you are great at and pursue it.
- Surround yourself with positive people.
- Ignore negativity - even though this is hard to do, it is important to remain positive.
He challenged each student present to get to know someone new and find common interests this year.
Again, we would like to thank our wonderful PTO for covering the costs of this program! It was time and money well spent.

It is time for the Annual Operation Snowflake event!
This year, the event for all D303 middle school students is scheduled for April 18, 2019 at Wredling. The event itself will run from 3:30 pm until 9:00 pm.
What is Snowflake?
Operation Snowflake is a leadership organization which focuses on building leadership capacity in middle school students. Snowflake also has a prevention focus, which helps adolescents and teens to help themselves, their peers and their community. The focus on attitudes, feelings and education provides the basis for personal growth.
Who can attend?
The event is open to any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student at Thompson and Wredling. Transportation from Thompson to Wredling will be provided the day of the event.
What is the cost for the students?
The total cost for Operation Snowflake is $25. This fee includes dinner, snacks, workshop materials, a t-shirt and hours of fun and games. There is an early registration fee of $20 if forms are turn in by March 8th! Scholarships for this event are available.
Why do we have an event?
More and more, we are hearing that many of the most difficult situations that teens face stem from middle school. Operation Snowflake is an opportunity for students to make connections with positive peer and adult role models.
If you have any questions, please contact Jolene Weir at Jolene.Weir@d303.org or call 331-228-6717.
Registration forms for the event can be found in the main office at Thompson and Wredling Middle School Campuses. There's a copy below for your convenience!
