Good Morning:
This week is World Kindness Week, which culminates with World Kindness Day on November 13th. The main tradition of the week is to encourage kindness to prevail over hatred. Many times, the importance of this day is show through small gestures. Now more than ever, I feel it is important to promote compassion and sympathy within our students. While I am constantly impressed with the empathy shown by many of our students that attend our school, I ask you this week to have a conversation with your child at home about the importance of being kind.
Sincerely,
Adam Dean
Superintendent
Soft Start Friday: On Friday the 4th graders start the day off “soft” by coming into the classroom to group activities instead of seat work. Today the students had 4 challenge activities to choose from!
It’s a great way to begin our Fridays.
Triopia Jr/Sr High School would like to also recognize the following students for being nominated for October student of the month. We have a lot of great kids and these students certainly deserve a shot out as well.
The October Junior High Student of the Month is Rylee Johnson (7th grade student). She is the daughter of David Johnson and Melissa Johnson and she is involved in band, scholastic bowl, and track and field here at Triopia.
Rylee was nominated by Mrs. Morrow who had this to say, “Rylee is so sweet and thoughtful - from picking up trash outside on mask break to sharing her Trojan Ticket prize with her Reese's-loving teacher (me)! Academically, she's a great addition to the class. She'll volunteer to answer a question, and she's always taking the initiative to go above and beyond on an assignment.” Mrs. Burchard also added that, “Rylee is a hard worker and is self-motivated to improve her skills. On top of that, she jumps in to help when she sees someone in need. I love having Rylee in class!
Rylee wants to study abroad after high school and wants to go to Switzerland or Japan to do so. Rylee also mentioned she would like to go to Harvard as well and she wants to study Child Psychology. Rylee says that her favorite class is language arts with Mrs. Morrow because she really loves to write. Rylee really likes hot cheetos/Takis, Lemurs, the TV show Criminal Minds, the movie Dodgeball, and her favorite holiday is Valentines Day. Rylee really likes to write, draw, and play softball. However, Rylee is not a fan of slow music, social studies, and history based books. Congratulations Rylee Johnson!
Garrett Sheehan is the Underclassmen Student of the Month for October. He is the son of David and Breanne Sheehan and he has 3 siblings, Kyleigh, Gavan, and Luke. Garrett is involved in FFA here at Triopia.
Garrett was nominated by Mrs. Burrus who had this to say, “Garrett is a great student. He is willing to put in the extra effort to understand and be successful.”
Garrett wants to attend college after high school and wants to be a Land Broker in the future. Garrett’s favorite class is Ag Mechanics with Ms. Harmon because he gets to continuously learn new skills. Some of Garrett’s favorite things are Lasagna, dogs, and his favorite holiday is Christmas. Garrett's favorite sport is football and he really enjoys being active in the motocross. Garrett’s pretty easy going and there really isn’t much he doesn't like. He did say, “I just don’t like the masks.”
Laila Beck is the Upperclassmen Student of the Month for October. She is the daughter of Jason and Alicia Beck and has a sister (Kaylee) who is a freshman here at Triopia. Laila is involved in FFA, National Honor Society, and Student Council here at Triopia.
Mrs. Price nominated Laila and noted, “Laila is a dedicated and hardworking student. I know she is very active in FFA, but she doesn't let that distract her from her other classes. She's responsible for making up work if she misses anything. I can always count on her to participate in class and she contributes to insightful conversations. She has demonstrated both kindness and respect around her teachers and peers” In addition, Ms. Fisher mentioned “Laila always brings a great amount of energy to class, is very hard working, and always has funny stories to share.”
Laila plans to attend a junior college for livestock judging and plans to pursue an agricultural career involving chemistry and/or biology. Laila’s goal for life after high school is to focus on surviving college.
Laila’s favorite class is Calculus with Mrs. Dober as they are doing a lot of algebra right now in class. Some of Laila’s favorite things are her mothers cream cheese danish, Hereford Cows, the TV show, Yellowstone, the movie Avatar, and her favorite holiday is Christmas. She enjoys showing cattle, riding horses, drawing, and bass fishing. However, Maggie does not like history classes and “questionnaires that ask her what her favorite things are. "Congratulations, Laila Beck!
It was great to see so many parents last week at Parent/Teacher Conferences. We wanted to follow up and make sure all parents were aware that they can still request to meet with a teacher and remind parents to stay up to date on their child's schoolwork by using their Teacherease account or requesting to be added to their child's google classroom.
Good Morning:
The regularly scheduled BOE meeting will be moved from Wednesday, November 17th to Tuesday, November 16th.
Thank you,
