Miss Appel's Room is Riding High

Miss Appel and her students are jacked up!  The elevator is finally working which is good because there is basically a monsoon outside.  Logan and Nellie told me they were about to start cracking some heads if the elevator didn't get fixed soon.


Look Miss Appel got the first ride.

Panther Pride

Our Panther Pride board is getting filled up.  We almost have complete rows a couple of different ways.  The Panther Pride Club is a piece of our School Wide Positive Behavior Plan.  It is intended to create a positive social climate and reward students for making the right decisions.  Students who get a "Caught Caring" note from a teacher get to pick a number and hang their Caught Caring slip on that number.

When there are 12 names in a row, all students in that row will be recognized and awarded a Principal's Prize.  Prizes could be any of the following:  Pizza Party, First in Lunch Line pass, Ice Cream Party, Free Dance Pass, Free Sporting Events Pass, No Homework Pass, Opportunity to make Morning Announcements, etc.

We are looking for good prize ideas and anyone who would want to do make a prize donation would be greatly appreciated.

We should have our first prize winners by the end of the week.  I wonder what the mystery prize will be.

Bears Are 2-0

The Bears are 2-0 after today's win against Dallas.  The Bears kept the Cowboys at 0-2 for the season.  Even though they cut Tim Shaw, they're still my favorite team and I'll always root for them.  Shaw got picked by the Titans so, he'll do okay on their Special Teams unit.

I've Got Spirit How About YOU!!

What a great pep rally we had today.  I'm so jacked up that I can't wait to go see the boys play tonight.  I've got to wait another 25 minutes until they start.  The cheerleaders organized a great time.  Mr. Jackson jumped his way past Mr. Edinger in the Teacher Jump Off, and 8 Black won the Spirit Baton.  Awesome job!!!  Check out some pictures.
