Middle School Spirit Week . . .


Now, this week was fun right, right?? Seriously, I really like the idea of allowing students to show their spirit and enjoy their school. Thanks to all the staff that participated. Students follow your lead. A big thank you to Lisha Vannoy and Eric Schoulda for working with student council with the morning announcements. That helped so much with the promotion of the theme of the day.

This week my classroom walk through focus was on Encore. I want everyone to know how GREAT our encore teachers are! They work extremely hard teaching hundred(s)! of students in this school. It amazes me to see how well they know them. Prime examples are Senorita (right?) Hughes and Sullivan. They teach approximately 350 students each (A & B days). When they ask questions, they always use the student's name. No student feels left out in their classes. Other teachers do the same (PE teachers - Amy Peverall, Denise Francis, Martin Patrick, JR Wilkerson). Thanks again for all you do each day to help contribute to the wonderful education students receive at TJMS!!

A want to recognize Leigh Walters was passing her Administration Exam!!! She is now fully qualified to be a principal - you really want to do this?! This is a grueling written test that you basically answer scenerios for about 6 hours. I can tell a huge weight has been lifted off her shoulders. Congratulations Leigh!!

Remember, if you have the "Spirit" and enjoy what you do then your students can't help from being excited about school and what you want to teach them. They may not all show it in the proper way at times (they are 11-14 year olds!)but you do make a positive difference in their lives. Thanks for your Spirit this week and each day that you meet with our students.

Have some fun this weekend!

Go Patriots!!
