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. Take a moment to compliment a friend, peer, or staff member today!!

Attention all 7th grade girls interested in playing Volleyball: There will be a mandatory meeting TODAY during lunch.

Unified Basketball participants, tomorrow we have our first game at Goddard! We will meet in front of Massie’s classroom, 1031, after school. We will take a bus to Goddard, but you will need your own ride home. See you then! 

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!!
