Hampton Bays Middle School
Monday Memo #26
Powerful Learning at HBMS this Week!
Let's keep sharing and celebrating the great things happening in our classrooms and school.
March is Middle Level Education Month!
Dear T.E.A.M. :
Did you know that March is Middle Level Education Month?
You can read more about that here:
http://www.amle.org/AboutAMLE/MiddleLevelEducationMonth/tabid/295/Default.aspx .
There is consistent evidence at Hampton Bays Middle School that we support the ideas in this article, before during and after the month of March. Sometimes, it's in obvious ways, such as the 8th Grade trips from last week, and other times, it's happening in our classrooms, in our gym and on our ball fields, and with our co-curricular clubs.
I encourage you to look for these opportunities this month to celebrate, share, and showcase where this is happening in our classrooms and in our school.
Why?
Because when we make a conscious effort to look for it, this builds momentum and makes us all better. And best of all, it makes for a better school and learning and experience for our students.
Take a few minutes this week to enjoy the Storify slide show from our Middle School Trip to Washington DC (link above). Treat yourself to reading a few of the links below. And for something that's both thought-provoking and fun, watch the video link, "Be More Dog".
Thanks for your dedication to our students and our middle school program. Let's work together to make this week great for our students!
Dennis
