Middle School Notes

Happy Friday!

Here are some important reminders and announcements pertaining to our middle school program:

1. Some of our English teachers have sent AR point notification letters home. Please look these over carefully and keep up with where your child is now and needs to be in the near future with respect to AR points. Keep in mind that AR tests can be taken during class, before or after school, during break, or during lunch. Also, the last day to take an AR test for this nine weeks is Friday, October 10. This date is posted on Edline, and it is also posted on the board in the classrooms.

2. If you are the parent of an 8th grade student who is wrapping up our Abstinence Education program next week, you may stop by my office beginning next Wednesday to sign out your child's completed workbook. If you do not wish to have the book, that is fine as well. However, these will not be released without parent signatures.

3. Congratulations to our newly-elected Middle School Student Council, advised by Mrs. Dorothy Bradshaw: President - Mason Hallford, Vice President - Tanner Cox, Secretary - Becca Murdoch, Treasurer - Jack Albritton, 8th Grade Representative - Cole Farris, 7th Grade Representative - Kendall Williams, 6th Grade Representative - Reed Grice. Thanks also to the many fine candidates who ran for office. Please encourage your child to consider participating in future SGA elections.

4. Please be reminded that teachers in our middle and upper schools do not send completed tests home with students. If you are interested in viewing a test that your child has taken, please contact the teacher, who will make arrangements to show the test to you.

5. Good luck to our "Wildcat Pride" Marching Band. These students will be participating in the inaugural "Huntingdon First" Invitational Marching Band Competition, sponsored by the Huntingdon College Marching Band, tomorrow at Charles Lee Field on the Huntingdon campus.

Check out these pictures of our 6th grade art class interacting with kindergarten students earlier today. Jennifer Bricken, our middle school art teacher, invited our "Little Wildcats" to join her class as they created artwork featuring Noah's Ark and God's promise as demonstrated through the rainbow. What a great opportunity for our older and younger students to work together and get to know each other. Way to go!
