1. Good morning, Cougs! Today is Friday, June 6th…Happy Pride Month! Did you know that the rainbow flag is a symbol of Pride. Each color has a meaning: red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, blue for peace, and purple for spirit.
2. Remember as we move into the final stretch and enjoy end-of-year festivities, participation isn't guaranteed. Expected behavior will be your ticket to participating in the festivities. Please continue to exhibit expected behavior and show respect for staff, students, and yourself. Words matter and character counts.
3. The last day for the activity bus is next Thursday, June 12th. This is also the last day the Boys and Girls Club will be available.
4. Our amazing KPMS Band will be representing Cougar Nation tomorrow and the Gig Harbor Maritime Parade. They have been hard at work and we are grateful for their efforts and proud that they will be representing our school community. Come on down to the Gig Harbor waterfront to take in the festivities from 10 am - 1 pm.
5. A reminder as we head into the final couple of weeks to get in any missing assignments and listen carefully to timelines from your teachers. Attempting to turn in a handful of missing work the last week of school is not the recipe for success. Finish strong!
6. We are excited to send the second group of 8th graders that completed their prerequisite assignments, got their permission slips completed, and engaged in financial literacy learning over the past 3 weeks to JA Finance Park today. 8th graders will be departing at 8:30 and need to be lined up in the commons at a level zero volume as I speak.
Friday Riddle: You are in a dark room with a box of matches. Nearby are three things: a candle, an oil lamp and a log of firewood. Which do you light first?
