Well, so much for that full week of school this week, but I’m optimistic about the forecast in the days ahead. I am thankful that we’re inching closer to a full week and that routines are starting to be established while students seem to be easing their way into 2nd semester.
As you may have heard (and can see below), Thompson is hosting a Snow Ball on Friday, February 9th from 5-7 PM. This should be an awesome event for our students and we’re hoping a lot of kids decide to attend. Tickets for this event are $10 and the price of admission includes food and drink for attendees. With that, I want to communicate to all families that money will never restrict a student from attending a Thompson event. While there is a charge to get into the dance, we want to provide an opportunity for ALL students to attend regardless of economic means. If your child would like to attend the dance or any school event, and you are unable to cover the cost, simply 1) contact the administrative assistant to the principal, Katrina Michaelis (331) 228-5307, katrina.michaelis@d303.org, 2) tell her you would like your child to attend the dance. NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Again, any student who wants to participate in school activities will be able to do so, period.
Have a wonderful weekend, and Roll Thunder!

Principal

SCN is a great place, but it’s also a big place. Peer Leadership (PL) hopes to make the transition to high school more comfortable and fun, while offering opportunities for growth.
The goals of Peer Leadership are to:
Match incoming freshmen with selected upperclassmen mentors.
Foster lasting friendships and bonds between the freshmen, their mentors, and the kids in their PL Groups.
Improve freshmen self-confidence and self-advocacy.
Prepare freshmen to become participants in clubs, sports, classes, and other activities at SCN.
Prepare freshmen for future leadership roles.
PL Students meet together in groups every day. PL is formally added to student schedules and takes the place of lunch/ study hall. There are weekly themes that are educational, informative, supportive, and fun. PL also attends a day of teambuilding “Camp”, has several “all PL” activities during the year, and meets together in groups both formally and informally.
We would like to be able to offer PL to all interested incoming freshmen, but our numbers are limited. In order to start the selection process, interested students (or their parents) should fill out this:
