Last night our 8th grade girls played their first volleyball game of the season against Newton! A team started the night off strong with a win in 2 sets! Serving was strong from all of the girls and Kendall Helm, Elliott Price, and Haley Crozier all had a couple great kills to get us points we needed.

B team unfortunately ended in a loss, but fought hard in the second set. Cora Parry had multiple serves that helped the team and Gemma Strouse was able to get some really great digs!

C team went to 3 games last night and also ended in a loss, but are really showing determination. After being down 15 to 0 in the first set and coming back for the win, they played 2 more games and went into extra points in the 3rd set, unfortunately just barely losing!

Great job to all 3 of our teams last night, we are so excited for the rest of the season!

Glee Club is tomorrow after school in the choir room! Please practice the songs before we see you tomorrow! For more information please see Ms.Bates and Mrs.Martinez

Pennies for Patients is underway!  If you haven’t already, find those pennies and add them to your CORE+ teacher’s box.  Remember all donations will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS) to support cancer patients and cancer research.  Don’t forget that you can also sabotage other CORE+ boxes with other coins and bills that are not pennies.  The competition will run through next Thursday, March 6th, but the first round of counting will take place THIS FRIDAY.  Boxes will be emptied and counted and the CORE+ class with the most positive points this Friday will earn a prize.  Thank you for your support!

The fifth and last commitment of the pledge says, “I will educate myself and others to raise awareness about bullying, helping to create a more inclusive and understanding community.” That means that we should all be more aware about bullying, and we should help others to be more aware to build a safe school environment for everyone!

Hi, my name is Rose. I am a member of  No Place for Hate. The fourth commitment in the pledge is “I will do my best to speak up for myself and for others.” We should speak up when we hear people say mean things to us and especially if someone is doing it to another kid/person. Being a bystander can be just as harmful as being a bully. Take some time to reflect on a time where you were able to stand up to someone who was being unkind, think about what you did well and what you might do differently next time!

Hi, my name is Josiah. I am a member of No Place for Hate. The second commitment in the pledge says “I will be cautious in my words and actions because I don’t know the impact it will have with someone.” This statement means that our words hold value and if we say something that is unkind or hurtful to others, it could impact them not only for the day, but for the rest of their life.

Last night our 8th grade boys basketball teams finished up their regular season games against Euclid Middle School.  Despite playing behind the entire game, Jacob Carey led the team in scoring with 9 points as he remained calm, consistent and aggressive every minute he played.  King Jordan and Caleb Borquez also showed strength and hustle.  Our B team played their best game of the season so far, but came up just a couple of points short.  They made smarter passes and worked more as a team which kept them close all 4 quarters.  Gray Ferrigno was on fire both offensively and defensively.  His speed and grit caused a lot of turnovers for the Falcons.  He led the team with 8 points while Justin Arnold, Kai Budler and Leo Jurbala also made important contributions.  Our C team continues to be a fun team to watch!  Their encouragement for each other is unmatched! Jackson Kennedy and Aiden Long scored big baskets which helped the team to their victory as well as a 1st place finish in regular season play!    Good luck to our C team as they travel to Euclid to play in their semi-final game today after school!

Hi, my name is Avi. I am a member of No Place for Hate. No place for hate asked you all to sign a pledge in September to show your commitment to prevent bullying and make our school a more welcoming environment. Our first commitment for the pledge was “I will work hard to make sure everyone feels safe.” This means that every student should be respectful to everyone else and they should not be a bystander. Remember that the nicer you are the safer the environment will feel. Take a moment today to check in with a friend!!

Attention all 7th grade girls interested in playing Volleyball: There will be a mandatory meeting TOMORROW during lunch. Please grab your lunch, or if you are buying lunch, head to the front of the line and then make your way to the gym. The meeting will start promptly at 11:15. See you soon! Coaches Bowlen & Altena
