#Gratitude to our Veterans

Gratitude is the monthly theme on social media. According to the definition, gratitude is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness. Today we were able to show gratitude to a number of Veterans during our annual Veterans Day ceremony. I only wish that we showed this gratitude more often. I have a habit of saying thank you to anyone in uniform as well as those Veterans I notice wearing a hat or jacket recognizing their service. To all Veterans reading this, thank you. I challenge you all on this Veterans' Day weekend to thank someone, military or otherwise, for their service to you, your family, or our community.

A busy book fair

Wonder, the movie

On Friday, December 1st, our students and staff will be going to see the movie Wonder. It's a terrific novel that many of our students have read. The theme of the book, as well as the movie, is kindness. We are still determining the final cost of the movie and transportation which we should have to you early next week. See the trailer for the movie below. It will be a great experience for our entire school.

Forensics team

Mrs. Iwanski is looking for an assistant! The team is open to all students in grades 6-8, and the season runs from the beginning of December to the end of March.

What does it mean to be an assistant coach for forensics??

Weekly practice (one night a week for 1 hour before or after school - depending on what we as coaches prefer)
4 Saturday meets - these take place at local schools in Southeast Wisconsin. The meets normally start early (7:30) and end by 4:00. The last two seasons we have elected to do a after school meet instead of a Saturday meet for one of the 4.
1 State Tournament Meet - we only take the students who qualify based on their other meet performance.

If you are interested in coaching with Mrs. Iwanski, she would love to hear from you! If you can listen to kids, give feedback, and would like to get involved in an extra curricular that doesn't involve athletic ability - FORENSICS IS FOR YOU!
