You would have left hungry if you stopped into Grade 8 Art today! Students created their own sandwich or ice cream sundae graphics to better understand the 4 criteria. The engagement and creativity were impressive to witness!
ACTION ITEMS
- October Email to Advisory Families: We will chat about this more at the MS faculty meeting on Wednesday, but please ensure you carve out time at the end of the week to send a communication to your advisee's families. Nothing needs to be done prior to the faculty meeting.
- Sunshine Notes: If you haven't sent any in the past week, now is the time to do a few. Students will be reflecting on these as part of their Conference Prep, making it doubly important they have some to reflect on. A reminder: you should send at least one per student per class you teach each semester.
- Monday P6 during All School Chapel: Please look out for an email from Shelli. We have A LOT happening on Monday afternoon, and it will be an all-hands-on-deck type of situation.
FYI
- Thrivability Survey: Thank you to all who helped get the survey done. We have every student completed and another case study and survey this week about friendships.
- 10th St Plastic Lunch Box: LS is concerned that some MS faculty are leaving our dirty plate on top of this. Please don't, and instead, place them in it!
- Endeavor Grants: If you are interested, please see the email from Sep 26 with more directions. It would be great to see some MS folks get this amazing opportunity!
- Printers: A reminder from Erik that on Monday, Sept 30th, 10:00 – 10:30 am, printing on any printer is temporarily unavailable.
