Remember, all submissions are anonymous. If you are struggling with it, your peers probably are too! The Husky

Attention afternoon bus riders, listen up. There are several things that we need to correct starting today. First,
once you are dismissed from school, you are to go to your locker and directly to your bus. Once you are on
your bus, you stay on the bus, do not get back off. Second, if you ride a bus in the 2nd row of busses, you must
cross the first line of busses with a teacher. Look for Mr. Lewis or Mrs. Bates and they will get you safely to you
bus. No students should be walking between the rows of busses. Stay on the sidewalk away from the side of
the bus no students should be next to the busses talking with the students that are on the bus. Please do not try
to run after a bus. A typical bus weighs 14 tons, and the drivers cannot see you if you run in front of
them. Please think safety for yourself and others as you are riding to and from school.

your voices down and LISTEN to the adults that are giving directions.

We are also continuing on using our manners at all times with all people. Good manners include being
encouraging. Think about this, when you were very small and learning to walk, everyone around you was very
encouraging. They probably said things like: "Come on! You can do it!" With all that encouragement from others,
learning to walk was much easier. No matter how old we are, whether we are two years old or eighty years old,
we all need encouragement from those around us. We need to be encouraged to be the best we can be. As
you start quarter 2 challenge yourself to be an encourager, it’s all part of being a good citizen, showing good
character and your PRIDE! Make it a great day!

Word of the Month
The word of the month is Citizenship. Today is SSR your teachers will be presenting a
FLASHBACK FRIDAY activity kicking off our Core Value Challenge. You will need your
PRIDE journals, pencils and attention. After the morning announcements, you will watch a
short video telling you about the Army Core Values Duty, Honor, Integrity, Respect, Courage,
Selfless Service and Loyalty. Listen carefully, because we want you to be a part of our
challenge. After you view the video, choose one of those values that you can live everyday,
at school, at home and in the community. Write about your word in your journal and ways
that you will incorporate your value into your daily life. Your teacher will give you a special
bookmark to remind you of your commitment to bettering yourself and our school. Keep that
bookmark somewhere, as a constant reminder of the challenge and as a way of showing your
PRIDE and citizenship. Good Luck!
