Fry's Friday Focus
10/5/18
First week into October
We are kicking into our beautiful fall weather days and settling into the classroom routines. This is my favorite time of the 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! Make it a great week!
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!

Sunday 10/28 at Whole Foods in Cherry Hill from 10-11. Mark your calendars now! We are a fun group that loves chatting about all the things going on in our schools, and new things we are learning and want to learn about. It is short and free and really so much fun.
I hope to see you come out!

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!

A student in Miss Barnes room has been working hard both in and out of school. Proud dad asked me to share this achievement with our school community. So, I would like to pass along this adorable video of one of Magowan hard working kiddos. Way to go little buddy!
