Middle School Coffee
Topic: Essential Life Skills for Adolescents by Ms. Jen Gold, MS Counselor
Date, Time and Location: Tuesday, 17 November @8:45 in Hall of Light
Come to the parent coffee and learn about some of the essential life skills that we can be cultivating in our adolescents. Fostering developing skills now in areas such as stress management, perspective taking, self control, and resiliency, among others, is important for our children so that they are prepared for the demands of life beyond Middle School. Join other Middle School parents in learning about these life skills and discussing ways to encourage their development at home.

Cancer-Lap- A-Thon
Global Issue Networks will be organizing the Cancer-Lap- A-Thon again this year on November 27th. This year we have decided that the proceeds will be donated to the 30/30 project, an organization that is working to bring healthcare and health checkups to various communities around the world. Recently they have started to build a clinic in India, which we would like to sponsor. Our overall theme for the project is "Healthcare is a Human Right," - which is a key issue that GIN aims to tackle.
To participate, each person must get sponsors to pay them for the number of laps that they will run around the field. Participants can walk, run, jog, crawl, anything they like around the field, as long as they complete as many laps as they please to raise money for 30/30 Project. Everyone would need to pick up a form from the High School, Middle School, and Elementary School office to start getting sponsors. This event is open to all community members.
Design Saturday Nov 21st, 9-12 am - no sign-up necessary
The origin of the Maker movement is found in something quite personal: what we might call experimental play. Makers are enthusiasts who play with technology to learn about it. A new technology presents an invitation to play, and makers regard this kind of play as highly satisfying. Makers give it a try; they take things apart; and they try to do things that even the manufacturer didn’t think of doing. Making is a source of innovation.
The follow-up to our wildly successful first-ever Design Saturday will feature a blend of techie and not-so-techie. At the one end we will unleash our Bee Bots (easily programmable floor robots) and challenge our participants to send them through courses of varying difficulty. At the other end we will make things with cardboard and MakeDos that allow you to make a great many things and solve problems in creative ways. We will be designing, making and playing in the ES Discover Studio this time.
Have a nice weekend.
Alan Phan
Middle School Principal
