Week 5 Semester 2 – Monday, February 11 – Thursday, February 14th Celebrate Friendship Week

In February we celebrate African-American History Month. While SOM presents multicultural curriculum and perspectives throughout the year, we take time in February to further shine a spotlight on all the many contributions that African-Americans have made throughout history. During morning announcements, students will hear about an African American influential figure who made a positive impact on our world.

This week’s spotlight include:

Monday- Mae Jemison: Astronaut, Physician
Tuesday-Dr. Audrey Penn – Neurologist
Wednesday-George Crum Invention: The Potato Chip
Thursday-Michelle Obama, former First Lady, lawyer, spokesperson, writer

Open House

We will be hosting an Open House for our incoming seventh graders on February 21st. This event is one of many attempts to help provide information about the powerful and unique programs we have for our young community members.

The Kindness Challenge Week

Southwest Middle will be joining other schools in the Great Kindness Challenge taking place this week.

We have developed activities that will flood our school with good deeds! To celebrate and promote The Kindness Challenge Week, we ask that you post the following activities in your classroom:

Challenges: Teachers and Students Please Participate and Promote

Monday – Compliment five people
Tuesday – Pick up 10 pieces of trash on campus
Wednesday – Sit with a new group of students/ invite a new friend to sit with you
Thursday – Say good morning to 15 people
Friday – Entertain someone with a happy dance or a happy song

Our ASB has organized many lunch activities to promote The Kindness Challenge Week. The list of additional challenges was sent to all of our students through Jupiter. The students who submit a checked list on Thursday will receive a treat. Students will also have the opportunity to sign a pledge.
