Part of being resilient is optimism, which is our character trait of the month. Teachers will be looking for students who display this trait. An example of optimism: An optimistic person sees challenges as opportunities to learn.
Beginning next week, we will have a "Poppin Popcorn" Fundraiser. The money we make will go towards student incentives like dances, prizes for trivia night, snacks, etc. If you like these things, we need your help. We will share an online link next week that you can send to your family and friends. When someone places an order online, the popcorn will be shipped directly to them. That's all there is to it. You won't need to deliver anything nor collect any money.
We will have two incentives for the program:
1. For every three bags of popcorn that you sell, you will get a free snack bag of popcorn. (The popcorn is delicious and comes in over 20 flavors!)
2. The top three sellers in the school will receive a $100 Visa Gift Card that you can use anywhere.
Yesterday we started the 1st quarter behavior incentive - which will be a Halloween Dance in October. We will be using a 3-strike system to earn the privilege of attending this event. Any behavior that results in a detention will cound as 1 strike. In-school suspension will count as 2 strikes. Out-of-school suspension will count as 3 strikes. Stay tuned for more details on the date and time and make good decisions regarding your behavior at school so you can be part of the fun!
