5th grade parent orientation

We had a wonderful turn-out last night as we hosted the 5th grade parents for middle school orientation night. If you were unable to attend or still have more questions, please call the middle school and you will be directed to the appropriate staff member. We can't wait to meet the incoming 6th grade students next year!

Career Lunch Time Speakers

As part of the 8th grade guidance curriculum, the counselors have invited guest speakers to come in and talk to interested 8th graders about their careers. This is following the True Colors classroom lesson that the counselors delivered in February. Each 8th grader was able to determine their personality type, which was represented by 4 different colors, blue, orange, green, and gold. The guest speakers have also represented these colors and students are able to sign up to come hear about their career path. We started in February with "Blues" being represented by Mrs. Stacey Oswald (director of Campus Life in Lowell) and Ms. Laurie Kuna (former Lowell teacher, school board member, and author). March was the month for "Orange" with Mrs. Patty Sellner (athletic trainer) and Officer Toddy Summerhays (Lowell schools police liaison). Mr. Ross Otten (engineer) visited us last week to represent the "Greens" and Dr. Kim Mast (veterinarian) will be coming this week. Our final speakers for the "Golds" will be Mrs. Heather Cooper (pilot), and Sergeant Matthew Boulis to talk about careers in the military.
