Fry's Friday Focus
10/12/18
Cruising through October
We are finally feeling some of that fall weather!! One of my favorite times of year.
This is a great time for risk taking in the classroom. What are you going to do to make it memorable for kids? If your students didn't have to be here, would they come anyway? Continue to make memories, share laughs, and have fun!
Up for a challenge?? Try our #KidsDeserveIt challenge this month. Prizes will be given for tweets tagging @MES_EPTSD and using #MagowanRocks See me if you need help getting set up!
Small Group PLC Monday!
Thanks so much.
New EdCamp coming this November
School Violence Awareness Week
From the DOE: Youth violence can have lasting harmful effects on victims, their families, friends and the community. Efforts to prevent youth violence should focus on reducing factors that place youth at risk for carrying out violence and promote factors that protect youth at risk for violence.
Check out the link before for a resource on how to identify warning signs of youth violence.

Because We Are A Team
As we are on a search for a new Yearbook director. In the meantime, I am asking you all for some help. Below is a link to a yearbook folder. I am asking if you could put in photos of your students as events take place over the year. These could be classroom based activities, field trips, school-wide events, etc. I am hoping that once we have someone in place I can assist with the management and organization. I have already started to try and find a company to work with that is easy to use and upload photos etc. If you are interested, please let me know. I will do what I can to help support and make this a success. The yearbook is a great point of pride in the district and I can't wait to see what we can create this year!
