Middle School Notes

Happy Friday!

We were happy to welcome former Alabama Supreme Court Justice Harold See to our campus Wednesday for our first installment of Lunch with Leaders.  Justice See spoke with our Student Council about his journey through school, college, law school and ultimately the Alabama Supreme Court.  Students were engaged, and asked some outstanding questions.  Pictures were made of our time together, and as soon as I get them, I'll post them here.

We have several things going next week, so let’s jump right in:

Please remember our school schedule for next week:

Monday – Columbus Day – No School

Tuesday and Wednesday – Testing – Noon Dismissal

Due to the hectic October schedule, there have been a few changes in our 6th grade “Wildcat Watch” Bible study schedule for the month:

October 13 – No Meeting

October 20 – Regular Meeting

October 27 – No Meeting (Camp Cosby)

Here are a few more important announcements:

·      When requesting permission to be absent from school, please do so in writing and at least one week in advance.  Permission letters should be made to my attention, and I will forward them to the teachers.

·      Congratulations to the following 7th grade art students who have placed in the Montgomery Humane Society “Howl-iday” Card Contest: Madison Cornett, Anna Gentry, and Ben Biser.  Their specific place award will be announced at the annual "Walk-n-Wag" event Saturday, October 17 at 9:00 a.m. in front of the Shakespeare Festival.

·      Congratulations to the following 6th grade art students who placed in the DAR Constitution Week Poster Contest:
