All current 6th and 7th graders: Are you interested in raising your grades, becoming an expert learner or just joining a
group of highly motivated students who support one another in their journey to College, then AVID is for you. AVID can
change the way you approach your learning and give you access to classes that you didn't think were possible. If
interested please see Miss Collins in room 126 for an application.
TRACK: Track and field permission slips are now available for anyone wishing to participate in track this year. Voluntary
practices will be held over the break on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 10:00 a.m. Practices will be at Gregg
Anderson’s tack and you must have a signed permission slip in order to participate. Permission slips are available from
your PE teacher, Mr. Lister in room 115, Mr. Byass in room 516, or the front office.
Students: Remember that on Friday, March 17th the 3rd quarter progress reports will be sent home. Also, Friday is the
last day of school before spring break and is a minimum day. School will resume on Monday, April 3rd.
Spring Intersession: Did you have an F on your first semester report card? Was your GPA below a 2.0? If any of those
things happened, then you are required to attend our Intersession School for credit retrieval. Intersession school will run
from 7:45 am – 11:45 am from March 20th – 24th and is mandatory for those students.
DIVERSITY
Uniqueness
They say no two snowflakes are alike. That’s amazing to think about when you consider all the millions and trillions and quadrillions of
snowflakes that fall to earth each winter. Imagine – each snowflake a different shape and a different size, unique and unrepeatable.
Sounds like human beings. Remember what Juan Mascaro said:
Each one of us is a unique event in the universe.
Now listen to this little poem about snowflakes:
Though each flake is very different
There is one point you should know:
As the snowflakes reach the Earth below
They become one in a great blanket of snow.*
Which brings me to this: Just like a great blanket of snow, we are one huge blanket made up of all those unique and unrepeatable
human beings covering Planet Earth. Imagine that?
