Husky Happenings
April 22 - 26
From Mr. Martin
As we approach the end of the year, we want to make you aware of a change in the end of year recognitions at Trail Ridge Middle School. Based on feedback received in relation to our end of the year awards assembly, both parents and students have expressed the event has become impersonal due to the large number of students in each grade. In order to make the end of the year awards assembly more personal and meaningful for all those involved, awards in grades five, six, and seven will be handed out by classroom teachers in the classroom on the last week of school. Students will bring their awards certificates home outlining their accomplishments throughout the year. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have questions. (Sixth grade end of the year awards date will be set next week.) Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
Last week I talked about how busy our schedule is getting and the difficulty of finding dates that provide no conflicts with other events. Please see this week’s schedule as an example.
MINDSET MOMENT: If you quit it becomes a habit. Don’t quit.
