Student Leadership Team collecting Pop Tabs
Little things can have a big impact!
The Trombly Student Leadership Team is collecting pop tabs in support of
What: The tab of an aluminum can is pure aluminum unlike the rest of the can,
which contains paint and residue. Pop tabs are small and convenient to
collect. Pop tabs can come from pop cans, soup cans, canned fruits and
veggies and even pet food cans. It takes between 1,000 to 1,500 pop
tabs to make one pound of aluminum, Ronald McDonald House Charities
can get between 30 and 75 cents for one pound of pop tabs.
How: Please use the attached plastic bag to collect pop tabs and bring them to
school. Each classroom will have a container to collect them in and we will
be weighing them weekly.
So spread the word! Let your family and friends know their small pop tabs can make a big difference.
- Thank you from the Trombly Student Leadership Team!
Leader in Me - Habit #7 - Sharpen the Saw
Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw.
We are learning about Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw. Once there was a man who was sawing down a tree and not making much progress. When asked why he didn’t stop sawing to sharpen his saw, he answered that he was too busy sawing.
Habit 7 reminds us that we are more productive when we are in balance; body, brain, heart, and soul. If one area is being ignored or overused, the remaining three areas will feel the results. A good analogy for children is: a car needs all four tires and as leaders of themselves, they need to take care of all four parts.
Thank you for your partnership in reinforcing your child’s leadership skills.
Camp Invention is Returning to GPPS!
In partnership with the National Inventors Hall of Fame® (NIHF), Brownell Middle School is pleased to offer the nationally acclaimed Camp Invention® program to children entering kindergarten through sixth grade. It’s an exciting, weeklong summer adventure with lessons that explore connections between science, technology, engineering and innovation. Children work together to create solutions to real-world problems and build critical 21st-century skills while rotating through several high-energy, hands-on modules. The week begins on June 24, 2019 with Caitlin Kefgen serving as Director of the ALL-NEW 2019 program, Supercharged!
Activities give participants the opportunity to explore, discover and achieve while having fun!
Local educators facilitate program modules and enthusiastic high-school students serve as Leadership Interns, ensuring that one staff member is in place for every eight children.
