Special thank you to Debbie K, our choir director for 29 years, who is retiring at the end of the school year. She conducted a joint 6th-8th chorus at our Spring Concert last night. Amazing career and amazing educator!
Authors Neal Shusterman and Eric Elfman visit our Middle School to talk about “I Am the Walrus” novel. They shared that no matter if you are a professional writer or student writer, your first draft is never a completed piece of writing. And, they use google docs just like us!

A few words every student needs to hear!
"I love having you in my class."
"It was hard for me, too."
"You got this! I believe in you."
"Wow, you worked so hard at..."
"Oops, I made a mistake."
"Need to talk?"
"You matter."
