Homeroom Flag!

These two awesome students worked really hard during their study hall to finish painting our flag!  Thanks, Robert and T!

The avocados have also decided on a homeroom motto: "WE'RE HARDCORE!"

First "Falcon Fray" Battle Day!

The middle school teachers set up an afternoon of homeroom bonding and competition today.  It was great to get to know one another better, and we actually got a lot accomplished!  We started in the auditorium after lunch where The Falcon Fray was explained to all.  The students heard about how their service outside of school, extra curricular activities, academic excellence, and such can be applied to homeroom points!  Today the homerooms also decided on their team names and colors, made their team banners, and competed in several team games to earn points for the homerooms.  The day ended in ice cream treats and popsicles (DOUBLE for the winners), and a fun time was had by all.  We loved cheering one another on while competing in different contests.  The students can look forward to other Falcon Fray Battle Days the end of each quarter.

The students decided on the follow homeroom team names:

Agate's Avocados

Jensema's Jaws

Roberts' Rebels

We have an AWESOME middle school.  The students have done a wonderful job over the last three days.   I feel extremely blessed. :)

Relay race, obstacle course, balloon toss, water balloon fight, gummy worm-in-pudding eating contest, and more! :)

GO, AGATE'S AVOCADOS!
