1. Good morning, Cougs! Today is Wednesday, May 14th…Throughout the month of May, we continue to recognize Asian-Pacific Islander American History and Mental Health Awareness. Did you know that Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures include hundreds of languages and traditions? From Korea to Samoa to Vietnam, each community adds to the beautiful diversity of the U.S.
2. Please remember to use the bathrooms for their intended purpose and take pride in our building. Please walk and use a level one volume when speaking in the hallways to create a safe and calming environment. Please show respect to staff, guest teachers, and peers to uphold the dignity of others and our school environment. Please publicly display your affection for others outside of school to cultivate a professional work environment. Remember, as we move into the final stretch and enjoy end-of-year festivities after SBA testing, participation isn't guaranteed. Expected behavior will be your ticket to participating in the festivities.
3. This week, we recognize and celebrate the amazing work of our Nurse and Health Tech, Ms. Girard and Ms. Abernathy. Their dedication, grace, and care is unmatched, and we appreciate their tireless efforts at managing our health and safety. Swing by this week and thank them for their service to our school community!
