Peer Tutoring -- Other Disciplines Needed
We are also hoping to establish similar programs in the other disciplines. If starting a Peer tutoring program in Math, Science, English, Business, Wellness, Arts, or Social Studies is of interest to you, fill out this form. We will have an organizational meeting Thursday (11/3/22) during Masco Block.
Costume Reminders
There seems to be some excitement building around costumes on Monday. The Main Office is also excited and we have been working on our group costume. However, I want to remind everyone that props of any kind are not allowed and you can not wear anything on your head or face that prevents us from identifying you. I appreciate your time and attention to this matter.

Sportsmanship is Important!
I thought as we head into Tournament play, I would remind everyone of the elements of good sportsmanship. This language is taken directly from the MIAA Sportsmanship Manual (p23).
Athletic events are always among the most popular activities for the participants and spectators, and these games provide learning experiences. Integrity, fairness, and respect are the principles of good sportsmanship, and these are lifetime values taught through athletics. With them, the spirit of competition thrives, fueled by honest rivalry, courteous relations, and graceful acceptance of the results.
As a member of our school, your sportsmanship goals should be structured around:
Realizing that athletics are part of the educational experience, and the benefits of involvement go beyond the final score of a game.
Participating in positive cheers that encourage our athletes; and discouraging any cheers that would redirect that focus—including those that taunt and intimidate opponents, their fans, and officials.
Learning and understanding the rules of the game, and respecting the officials who administer them.
Respecting opponents as fellow students and acknowledging their efforts.
Developing a sense of dignity under all circumstances.
You are the spokesperson for your school when you attend an athletic event or any co-curricular event. Your actions are viewed by family and friends, opposing fans, the local community, and the media. Your display of good sportsmanship will demonstrate the most positive things about you and your school, and hopefully, remind us that sports are meant to be fun.
