Thank you to everyone who came and shopped the book fair this week. We do not have final totals but I know we had some good business. Also thank you to the parent volunteers for coming in and helping with the book fair, it is much appreciated.
Below you will see photos of our school families enjoying their pie Thursday morning. Big thank you to everyone who donated a pie, plates or silverware to make this possible. It is truly a tradition we love having!

Connecting with the Counselor
5th Grade
This week, we talked about the health benefits of talking and thinking about things that you are thankful for and how to show gratitude to others. Students had the opportunity to change their GRIPES into GRATITUDE with a fun turkey craft project. For example, one thing we might GRIPE about is having to do laundry, but we are GRATEFUL that we have the ability to buy and wear new clothes. These turkeys went home with your student, so please ask them about them! What would yours say?!
Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Jeff West Middle School families! I am so, very grateful for each and every one of the students that walk these halls. Thank you for sharing them with us!
