This month of May's PBiS theme is Courage. For those who are unsure what PBiS means, it is all about positive behavior intervention and supports that are embedded in our DHS as a philosophy, or rather a way of life, to interact with one another. Every month we have a theme. Last month we had the Trustworthy theme. Every month we provide character education during Dragon Time.

El tema de PBiS de este mes de mayo es Coraje. Para aquellos que no están seguros de lo que significa PBiS, se trata de intervención de comportamiento positivo y apoyos que están integrados en nuestro DHS como una filosofía, o más bien una forma de vida, para interactuar entre sí. Todos los meses tenemos un tema. El mes pasado tuvimos el tema Confiable. Todos los meses brindamos educación de carácter durante Dragon Time.

The month of May has been a busy month for our girls in James Hall. We are preparing for summer vacation. The girls finalized their community service projects for the year.

Curriculum lessons have been focused on personal safety. We have been teaching our students to be aware of their surroundings. Always pay attention to people, things that are happening around them and not to always have their heads down focused on their phones.

Community Service projects included making Thank You cards for our Mental Health Department. Mental Health is a real asset to our students. We also will have an Ice Cream Social welcoming the incoming Freshmen. We will introduce the staff to the students and show them a dorm room, that way they can get an idea of what the dorm looks like. We will give them a brief synopsis of some of the High School dorm rules.

The Rhyne Hall boys have been busy as well. For curriculum boys are continuing to enjoy taking apart the bikes and painting them. We taught the boys the proper way to take something apart and showed them how to use spray paint in a safe way, with a mask on. The students were very creative with the colors they painted the bikes. They were working very hard to make the bikes look good. The boys were paired in groups of 2 with one bike, we did this to teach them teamwork and how to work together to fix something.

We have an End of the Year Party planned for May 25th for both the girls’ and boys’ dorm. We will have a lot of great food, dorm awards, and water balloons.

Many of the students will be bring their things home on the buses these next couple of weekends. If you can please be sure they have an extra suitcase to bring so they can pack up their bedding and other personal items for the last weekend ride home. We would appreciate it.

We wish all the girls and boys a great and safe summer!

See you in the Fall!

Everyone had a great time and everyone looked gorgeous and handsome!
