Students at SIX on opening night
This past week we took 34 students to go see the musical SIX at Buell Theatre on opening night. It was a great choice-based opportunity for our students interested in drama and music. We had a BLAST!

Hello Tiger Families!

There were so many moments this week that reminded me how much I LOVE working with middle school students and how much I LOVE this community… chaperoning the SIX field trip…collaboration at late start professional development on Wednesday…amazing conversations with parents at the Parent Leadership Collective on Wednesday evening…joining with PTO for our monthly meeting…and Tiger Support with students! So many great things going on in our building.

We have two weeks left before winter break, and we are working to promote a calm, focused, and fun learning environment. We’d like to support all our students in finishing the quarter strong!
