Today is a B Day!

From Ms. Burton: If you are participating in the Girls Mentorship Field Trip tomorrow, please see Ms. Burton after the morning announcements. Thank you.

Now here’s Mr. Malinosky:(IBMYP Excellence Awards)

From Señora Ferrara There will be Kingdom Talk today after school

From Ms. Rosegrant: Today is our March Library Craft Day! It’s a chance to relax with friends, listen to music, and be crafty. Our craft today is making cloud dough. We are limiting this craft to the first 20 crafters each lunch period. Other students may still come up and color.

From Ms. Taylor:(Introduce yourself)Today’s National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® Fact: Fentanyl is a strong opioid that is 50-100 times more potent than morphine. Illicitly manufactured fentanyl looks just like many other drugs; however, it is commonly mixed with substances like heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine and made into counterfeit pills that resemble other prescription opioids. In 2023, DEA seized more than 79.5 million fentanyl-laced fake pills and nearly 12,000 pounds of fentanyl powder. The 2023 seizures are equivalent to more than 376.7 million lethal doses of fentanyl. Today during each of the lunches, we will be playing opioid trivia for lunch.

From Ms. Wall: If you got a reminder that you have an overdue library book last week, we hope you remembered to bring it to school today. If you have it, please return your overdue book to the library right after morning announcements. If you forgot it today, make a reminder so you will bring it tomorrow! If it is lost, please come discuss it with us in the library. Overdues won’t just disappear—you need to follow through and take care of the problem.

From Ms. Riley: Calling are theatre tech kiddos! We will have a mandatory informational meeting for all students who are interested in being in the tech crew for Mean Girls Jr. on Monday March 18 during all lunch periods in Ms. Riley’s room (Room 120). 6th graders come to the 6th grade tech crew during 6th grade lunch, 7th graders during 7th grade lunch, 8th graders during 8th grade lunch. You need attend one of these meetings on Monday in order to apply to be in the tech crew. You will be given all the information needed to join during this meeting.
