Happy Friday Mountain View! Thank you to everyone who participated in the Week of Respect Spirit Week. We had Advisory today, and because today is the last day of the Week of Respect, our lesson today focused on respect. The students participated in class discussions on how we can show respect to different people, as well as earn the respect of those around us. The students also completed a School Climate Survey in Advisory today. The purpose of the School Climate Survey is to give students a platform to share their honest opinions on things such as their feelings on the school building, opportunities to get involved, teacher relationships and support, peer interactions, and suggestions for future Advisory lessons.
On Thursday, the 8th graders welcomed Ms. Gina DiDomenico from the Morris County Vocational School District for a presentation during EEE. Morris County Vocational offers unique programs that combine academics with career and technical education classes. Morris County Vocational offers academies such as animal science, business administration (with early college), culinary arts, design, education, finance, government, health care, performing arts, and sports medicine. The benefits of Morris County Vocational range from studying a specific career area of interest and real-world experience to earning college credits while in high school. The deadline to apply is December 3. For more information, visit www.mcvts.org.
