In Case You Missed It:
Our National Junior Honor Society team has worked to establish a system to invite eligible seventh and eighth grade students using this next semester. Yanira is supposed to have report cards in boxes for teacher review. You will be sent access to a spreadsheet with all students preloaded by grade level and sorted by homeroom. Teachers will input a number in the spreadsheet for each student based off a scale using the six semester grades on the report card. The spreadsheet will then average the grades. Homeroom teachers will include a NJHS invitation to those students that meet the eligibility. More detailed information will be shared in the email.
Anna Whalen has worked with Tommy Harrington to create a fun event for our kids and have our SLMS Step Team showcase all their hard work. Wednesday, January 29, students will be invited to stay after school for FREE. There will be concessions sold. The first portion will be a dodge ball game between the grade levels. Anna is asking that homerooms line up a boy and girl representative to stay Wednesday. A form will be sent out asking for your homeroom reps. *Any student that has a ride to pick them up by 4:30 may stay as long as he/she is not in ISS. Grade level team reps will complete in a dodgeball tournament to win a grade level trophy and individual winner medals. After the tournament, SLMS Step Team will have a step off with East Lee's Step Team. This will be a fun event. I hope many choose to stay to join the fun!
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility with the PTSO Candy Bar sale. This is the last week, so please remind students to sell and get their money turned in during lunch.
Congratulations to the Duncan Family! Ellen Duncan has announced they are expecting a new baby this summer.
