Kudos

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kudos to Jon Nelson and Hans Block for assisting with the iReady incentives for our students and with the set up for dodgeball! The students, we know, really appreciated it!!!
Kudos to our kitchen staff on a quick turn around on getting food prepared on Wednesday as they thought all of the 8th graders where going to the Holocaust Museum and had to scurry to make food for the other 8th graders in a hurry! They handled it very well and so did our lunch duty staff! Thank you all for your professionalism and for working to do what needed to be done for our students!
Kudos to Kris Thomsen for all of her behind the scenes work with our schedule for next year. It is a very large learning curve to take on scheduling and Kris has been working diligently to assist with ensuring our schedule will be set for the start of the 2019-2020 school year!
Congrats to Jane Peterson who has decided to retire, joining her husband who also recently retired. Jane will be finishing up the year with us and then will enjoy time at her cabin and being grandma!

To honor Jane and her retirement everyone is encouraged to come and celebrate with Jane on Monday, June 3 starting at 3:05pm at The Rivalry! Please RSVP to Barb Berezowitz by this Thursday, May 30th if you are able to attend! Appetizers and cake will be served!

8th grade should report to the gym right after morning announcements and sit in the gym by advisory.
We will have all of the staff line up in front of the students (in a line) so that we an have staff share their two students for the character assembly, their two students stand by their teacher, and then pass the mic to the next teacher in line.
Mike Jones and Stephanie Rummler will be going first and then just they will head outside to make sure things are set up for right after the awards.
Once the awards are over we will have the students move to the bleachers, entering by going out the main gym lobby and through the parking lot - entering from behind the press box and into the bleachers.
Students participating in the Wipe Out should stay in the gym and wait for direction from Stephanie Rummler and Mike Jones.
