We would like to encourage all students to get their grades up before the semester ends! Those who have zeros or missing work will stay behind to make up work on Thursdays and Fridays. Keep up the grades and citizenship! Congrats to those who made promotion practice! We will have an extra special promotion practice coming up, once we run final reporting [

Respect is shown in many ways- Use your words wisely! Watch this and think before you say something disrespectful!

Some thoughts on Respect:

This week's theme is RESPECT. We show respect both on the field and off the field and both in school and out of school. Enjoy this video of athletes showing RESPECT. How do you show respect outside of school or as an athlete?

Thursday 10/11 - Girl Power

Counseling Corner:

Please read the following poem by Portia Nelson:

There’s a Hole in my Sidewalk

Chapter One

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost .... I am helpless.

It isn't my fault.

It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend that I don't see it.

I fall in again.

I can't believe I am in this same place.

But, it isn't my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is there.

I still fall in ... it's a habit ... but, my eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.

Chapter Four

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

Chapter Five

I walk down another street.

What point is this poem trying to make??
Take a look at the differences in each of the Chapters and see how the author changes her perspective and thought process.
How often do you blame others and/or external factors for the situations you find yourself in?!?
Next time you find yourself in a situation you don't like, take a second to think about the choices you can make to avoid it happening again! :)
