National Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month. Our counseling department will be hosting weekly initiatives to promote bullying prevention.
This month, remember that everyone deserves to feel safe, included, and accepted at school. You never know what someone else may be going through, so choose kindness, include others, and speak up when something isn't right.
On Friday, 10/16/26, For National Bullying Prevention Month, there will be a banner set up in the cafeteria on Friday. Please sign this banner as a pledge to speak up, stand up and choose kindness!

Junior Beta SOCK-tober
Starting next week, the Jr. Beta club is kicking off SOCK-tober.
We will be collecting packages of new socks to donate to a local homeless shelter
It is a Jr. Beta initiative, but all students and staff are welcome to participate.
Each package of socks will count as an hour of community service for Jr. Beta with a maximum of 5 hours earned through this initiative.
Socks can be dropped of to Mrs. Ruggieri in the library from 7:30am to 8:00am.
Or they can be brought to her classroom, room 903, after the completion of the news.
Please write your name on the package so we know who the donations came from.

Open season workouts will be held Mondays & Wednesdays at the high school from 3:30pm - 5:00 pm.
A current physical is required to participate. See Coach Miller for more information
Beanstack Challenge - Let's Read Chiefs!
We have also kicked off our September Beanstack Challenge... the challenge is for the school to read 300,000 pages in the month of September!
That's a big goal, but we can do it. We all need to read an average of 7 pages per day to reach the goal, so be sure to read and log your pages in Beanstack!!
Student ID Cards
Students have received their student ID cards. Students should have this with them daily. Their ID cards will be used to support scanning for lunch, the media center when checking out books, and the Chief store. It will work best if they keep it in their bookbags daily.
