I
must say that the general feeling of the middle school students
and faculty is to put the snowy days of February behind
us and look towards springtime.
The first week
of February was school counselor’s week. Mrs. Ogozalek
was showered with cards from students and faculty showing
her their appreciation. I want to personally thank her for
all her hard work and dedication to our students.
On February
2, 2010, Steven Goodale from Weatherly School District,
came to speak to students about the Robotics program and
how students can get involved. Our students enjoyed this
presentation.
On February
9, 2010, Janene Holter, from Tom Corbett’s Office,
came to the middle school and presented a program on Cyber
Bullying.
The PTO sponsored
a carnation sale for Valentine’s Day. Students were
able to purchase carnations and write a message to a friend.
Congratulations
to Tayler Nalesnik, Allyson Kusko, and Kayla Reese for being
recognized for writing a winning essay entitled “Does
America Still Have Heroes.” The Nesquehoning VFW Post
8008 presented the awards.
The middle school
welcomed Adrianne Bonner and Ashley Price as our PSSA Coaches
for the months of February and March. The coaches are working
with all students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade to help prepare
them for the PSSA tests in April.
The third marking
period will come to an end on March 29th and report cards
will be distributed on April 7th.
