THE MIDDLE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT THEME THIS YEAR IS "SURVIVOR" (BASED OFF OF THE TV SHOW)

Each month, two students are chosen to represent the department who have been working hard at school as "Survivor / Student of the Month." This school year, for sure, calls for survival mode.

Here are a few pictures of some Middle School Students showing off the hallway bulletin boards.

One of the boards follows the con- cept of the "I Can..." statement to encourage our students to out- study, out-perform, and out-wit this year.

The final board says "Be kind! Your vibe attracts your tribe!" to encour- age students to always be kind to others.

"The Middle School Tribe has spoken!”
