Binge Watch: 
The good place, handmaids tale, selling sunset
Saying: 
"Kirstin Wallingford at Kaseberg told me during my student teaching to find or be a marigold. She said that is someone who supports you and lets you vent, laugh, cry, but keeps negativity out and encourages you to keep going. Unlike a marigold, the walnut tree poisons everything around it and tries to bring it down. Don't be a walnut tree!"
Music: 
Queen/90's & 00's hip hop/country

INFORMATION & ANNOUNCEMENTS:


(“*” Indicates the number of weeks it’s been in newsletter.)


Holiday Song: If you haven't signed up for a song and want too, please let me know. This included Champion Teachers. More information will be coming to you this week.

Independent Study Contracts: Independent Study contracts will no longer be approved. Please ensure that work is loaded into OTUS for students. We will work with students who are out for longer than a day to get them the necessary materials to access OTUS in a case by case basis.

Holiday Show: So this is going to be a recorded zoom meeting that will be sent out to watch with your kids. You are only tasked with one thing at this point. Please get together with your PLC and choose a song to sing from the list to be provided when we come back. Champions teachers, this is you too! We will then set up a zoom meeting and I'll join you with the guitar. We will record it together. Have as much or as little fun with it as you want. Thank you and I look forward to singing with you. 

Relationships: Not everyone looks forward to the holidays. This time of year is traumatic for some families. Thank you for being extra patient. 

Champions Lunch: We have walk up lunch available for our broncos in champions academy. You can walk up to the MPR door on the left and ask for a lunch. Our amazing cook will make it right then. 

  • Champions Lunch hours are 11:30am-1pm



*Please always double-check with the OR Google Calendar as event may change.*
