Friday Focus - March 16, 2018

March Madness is here!!! I've already seen some preparation for next week at different grade levels...wow, you're ahead of the game! Thank you for your work to help be the dream managers for our students. We know that many of our students do not have family encouraging them to dream big, talk about graduation or college so for many of our students...we are their only source of inspiration! And we know that no matter where students come from, they can dream big and achieve their goals!
Our students have already been excited to see the map in the commons (our 5th grade US experts even noticed a few states missing!) that currently has the NCAA colleges identified for the March Madness bracket. Next week they will see where you all went to college (from the survey you submitted to me)!

Upcoming Events:
Today (Friday): Graduation year pictures in the middle school gym
12:55-1:10 K 1:15-1:30 1 1:35-1:50 2 1:55-2:10 3 2:15-2:30 4 2:35-2:50 5

All week---you get to wear jeans if you talk about college. Bonus points of inspiration while wearing college shirts (and they don't have to match the color days)!

Other March Madness details: 

• Tuesday - Friday there will be a Kahoot or other Google presentation scavenger hunt to have your students do in the class. It will have to do with the colleges associated with the color of the day and may possibly include where staff went to college.  The ACP committee will share details of this by the weekend with you. 
• There are MANY parents scheduled to talk to classes next week about their career/college.  Some went through me to schedule, but I know several went straight to you to schedule. Please Please Please take a picture to share with me and let me know who comes in. I want to send each parent a thank you and have a slideshow of pictures to share at the end of the week.  Thank you!!!
