  • This week’s Kindness Challenge comes directly from one of our students:  Watch your language, especially if it’s in the context of an insult or argument with another person.  Using curse words makes the situation worse. It doesn’t help your argument it makes you seem like the person who is in the wrong. Your argument, no matter how valid, immediately gets forgotten.

  • We have three student birthdays today.  Happy birthday to Jack E, Jamie H and Katelyn N!  Have a great day guys! Happy Birthday!!

  • Get your thinking caps on guys because it’s MANIC MYSTERY MONDAY!  Teachers please call Extension 1420 when you have heard the entire question:

QUESTION:  In inches, how big is the diameter of a basketball hoop?

ANSWER:  18 inches

NOTES:  A regulation size rim is big enough for two basketballs to go through at the same time.  Basketball was created by Dr. James Naismith in December 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts, to condition young athletes during cold months. It consisted of peach baskets and a soccer style ball.

  • Have an amazing Monday!
