On Monday we had the opportunity to celebrate our September Student Leaders of the Month. At the end of each month our teachers choose two students from each team to represent their team as Leaders of the Month. A big congratulations to our Leaders of the Month and for all they bring to our MJS One Community on a daily basis. Thank you to these students for being great role models within our building. We look forward to celebrating our October Leaders of the Month within the next few weeks.

On Wednesday we had a special visit from Captain Nunn of our Madison Fire Department. Captain Nunn had the opportunity to speak with each grade level around the topic of Fire Prevention and Safety. As I shared with our students, our MJS One Community extends outside of the school in various ways. One way is with our local emergency response teams who work everyday to keep all of us safe and protected. At MJS we appreciate the partnerships and support we have from our local emergency response teams and also love having them in our building working with our students and staff.

Thank you Captain Nunn for spending time at MJS speaking with our students about this important topic!

Our Peer Leaders are made up of 8th graders and we are excited for the great leadership they will bring to MJS this year. Ms. Gamba and Ms. Spangler are the advisors and set up the first Peer Leader Retreat of the year this past Tuesday. Along with various team building activities, students had a opportunity to brainstorm what they believed leadership is made up of. I had the opportunity to speak with our Peer Leaders during their retreat and was able to share a little bit about my leadership journey. We talked about the positive influence that Peer Leaders can have on our MJS One community especially with our 6th graders. 

We are excited this year to partner with our local Project Community Pride organization with a focus on the Social Emotional Learning (SEL) competencies which are Social Awareness, Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Responsible Decision Making and Relationship Skills. Through this partnership, lessons/activities will be created around SEL and our Peer Leaders will turnkey these lessons to our 6th graders during Advisory. We are looking forward to this great leadership opportunity for our Peer Leaders and for our MJS One Community working together to learn and grow!
