PSA:
Sarcasm is NOT ok to use with students in a passive aggressive way.
Ex: "Nice of you to put down your phone and join us."
One small interaction might be insignificant to you, but severely damaging to how that kid feels in your class.

A student came to school with fire engine red hair. Did it cause a minor distraction? Yes, for about 10 minutes and then everybody was fine. There was no need for ME to cause a major disruption in our day. It is often adults who cause disruptions for things we don’t like.
We don’t normally post junior high stuff but this is deserving.
Gili Johnson (8th grader) from Manhattan with the #1 spot in the nation (37’ 8.5) in the girls triple jump. That would be the fifth best high school jump in all classes of Kansas girls.
@Scotty67671 @TrackInKansas And I thought Holcomb middle school had a lot, daughter said about 140 out this year. Took 3 busses to their first meet yesterday. Happy to see kids participating though!

Our Halloween Dodgeball was definitely a HIT!!! Thank you to all who came out to play and to cheer on their favorite teams! Our winners go to Ross’ Children and the Feminists! Great job everyone and look forward to the next event! #goswedes
baseball/softball might not be AS physically demanding as some other sports but the mental toughness, drive, and perseverance it takes to play a sport where failing more than you succeed is expected truly outweighs any physical demands and that deserves some respect idc
Great momentum going into regionals with a split against a good Spearville team. Aside from 2 innings very very good team baseball. Continuing to improve daily. #defend#goodguys#longhorns#peakattherighttime
