Mission Monday - (We are continuing the same mission from last week) Make it your mission to find a student leader who may be worth highlighting on CTE-TV: 7 HABITS Super Student Leader Form

Staff Jeans Day Opportunities - $1 per day - Raising money for:
In light of the recent tragedy that has hit the community of Kokomo we would like to hole two $1+ Jeans Days next week.  On Tuesday and Wednesday you may wear jeans if you pay a $1 donation to the office.

 Where will my donation go?

-          Mrs. Luna’s husband, Jeremy, is the principal of Taylor Elementary near Kokomo and one of his teachers was directly affected by the tornadoes.  We would love to brighten her day with a gift card.

-          Reese, Elle, and Ty Phares are students at our school and their grandmother is a long-time kindergarten teacher at Elwood Haynes elementary in Kokomo.  Many of the lower income housing units and apartments that house a lot of students from Elwood Haynes live were heavily damaged by the tornadoes.  We would like to donate a check to the school in order to allow them to serve their families as they see fit. 


7 Habits Student Video - At a convenient time for your class,  please play this for students at some point this week.
