Student Spotlight
What’s up Leopards!
We are opening up Student Spotlight Nominations again! If you don’t know, student spotlight is where you can nominate your friends for a shout out that will be announced in the bulletin every week. To do this, you go to your grade level ASB google classroom (we dropped off the add codes last week), and there will be a google form labeled, “Student Spotlight Nomination Form”. Click on the link… and then BOOM! You can nominate anybody who you spot going above and beyond. You can nominate someone for athletic or artistic achievements, acts of kindness, service work, cultural celebrations, etc! We plan to spotlight new students in the bulletin each week.
Thank you!

CLUB NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
Enigmatology Club
Do you like solving puzzles, answering riddles, or unlocking mysteries? Do you wish you lived in the world of dragons and dungeons, robots and space, or vampires and zombies? Do you enjoy teaming up with friends to crush your enemies, find treasures, and explore places you’ve never been? Well, the Enigmatology Club just might be the place for you. Once a week we get together to play strategy games like Chess, Stratego, Connect-4, and Heroscape. Along the way we learn to play with Honor, Integrity, and Compassion. We also help each other to solve riddles, put together jigsaw puzzles, and learn to think outside the box. The Enigmatology Club meets every Thursday at 2:55 in room 106 with Mr. Crawford. There is no need to be a member, and anyone is welcome to come by and check it out. We are open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade, as well as any teachers who need some time to get away from the grind and disappear into a battle of wits. We even have games where players work together to save the world. There is something for everyone in the Enigmatology Club. If you feel like you haven’t quite found your circle, we can help you unlock that puzzle too. Our first meeting will be on Thursday, September 21st. Come see what Enigmatology is all about.
