Principal’s Corner

I’ve been really surprised

at how fast the days and semester has gone at the middle school. I’ve enjoyed getting to know the “middle school”. Second semester I would like to see more students get FFT- which means fewer missing assignments, fewer tardies, and fewer DRs. My advice is always the same: do your best, work hard, learn something new every day, make good choices and do something kind for someone else. – Ms. Ray
