Be Respectful, Be Excellent, Be Accepting, Be a Leader

This is a W Day.

ALL GRADES: National Junior Honor Society will be meeting this Friday, November 4 at 7:00 a.m. in the double classroom.  Breakfast will be served.  Several students will be bringing items…see the paper note that you receive this week.  We will be planning our work for Habitat for Humanity and Emergency Family Food Bank.  Please attend.

We want you to “Be REAL” about suicide prevention, so today our focus is on Respecting the physical, social, and emotional well being of yourself and others. Growing up is not easy. You face many tough decisions and difficult life experiences that at times seem overwhelming. For some kids, a difficult, scary or threatening situation can cause so much distress that they start to think about killing themselves. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death for students in middle and high school and it can be prevented if adults and friends are aware of the warning signs and know what to do. To learn more about the warning signs of suicide, please visit the information booth in the cafeteria during your lunch period.

Don’t forget the student council meeting this Thursday in Rm. 109 at 7:00AM  -  See you there. 

Attention beginner, intermediate and expert chess players!  The Littleton Public Schools annual chess tournament will take place at Newton Middle School on Saturday, December 3.  You must pre-register before November 18th in order to attend.  You can get a registration form from Mrs. Lloyd in room 103 or from Student Services.  Questions?  Check with Mrs. Lloyd.

Note:  Homework Help Session with Mr. Richardson has changed to Thursday.  It is now every Thursday in the Library from 3pm to 4:15pm.
