1. Good morning Cougs! Today is Monday, October 21st. During the month of October, we recognize and grow in Disability Awareness and Bullying Prevention Month. This is a time for our school and district to increase understanding, respect, and acceptance of people with disabilities and continue to work toward prevention efforts connected to harassment, intimidation, and bullying. On Monday we communicated that words have power. It is crucial to use our words to build each other up, to be inclusive of students with disabilities, and to support a school culture centered on belonging. It is also important to remember that we all have a role to play. Harassment, intimidation, and bullying are not tolerated and it is crucial to report these situations to teachers, counselors, or administrators. You can fill out an incident report in the office, send an email, or report verbally, but the key is that if you see something, say something. Let's continue to band together to create a school culture we can be proud of and that celebrates our uniqueness and diversity. 
 
2. Keep walking right and talking right while speaking at a level 1 volume in the halls. Cell phones and wireless earbuds should be stored away and out of sight. Please remember that 4th-period classes are in session after 1st lunch and before 2nd lunch, so please make a quiet transition. Bring your student ID to lunch and scan in to ensure the lunch line moves as quickly as possible. 
 
3. This week is bus driver, mechanics, and transportation appreciation week. Take a moment to recognize and thank your bus driver for their time and effort at transporting students to and from school throughout this week.
 
4. The Cross Country Championships took place on Friday and our Cross Country student athletes represented Cougar Nation well. There were many personal records and we are so proud of the effort and growth from this season. Thank you to all of our student athletes and coaches that participated this past season. We are grateful for the effort you put in each and every day. We are excited to begin the Wrestling season today after school. Wrestlers should meet coach Tiner-Driscoll in the commons right after school. 
 
Let's make it a great day and continue to display kindness and respect toward all members of our school community!
