We had noteworthy (pun intended) evening as our 5th grade musicians picked out their new instruments for the school year and hopefully for a lifetime. Did you know science has shown that music training can change brain structure and function for the better? It also improves long-term memory and can lead to better brain development for those who start at a younger age (Inc. Incorporated: www.inc.com)

We started Second Step lessons this week! Elementary students get to learn social emotional and learning skills through whole group counseling lessons every week. This week some of the primary groups read the book, “The Day You Begin,” which celebrates our differences and similarities, as well as recognizes some of the struggles we have at school. Learning to be our own brave selves helps us be proud of who we are. All groups were taught the role of the school counselor and how to request to meet with the counselor when needed.

The Elections for JHS Class Officers and the JHS Student Council have come to a close. Students interested in running for a class office were required to petition for a position. Then they completed a candidate agreement, prepared a one-minute speech - that was presented to their respective class and had to obtain two-teacher recommendations while obtaining the support of their class sponsor. Following their respective speeches they were challenged with a brief question and answer session. The same procedure was followed for a Student Council Officer position with one exception; the speech was delivered to the entire high school student body.
Your 2021-2022 Student Council Officers are:
Senior - Jayce Strasser, President
Junior - Kierra Ehnes, Vice President
Ms. Brianne Foreman, Sponsor
Senior - Aaliyah Ingram, Secretary
Senior - Chloe Goshe, Treasurer
