Mandarino Minutes for 9-10-18

Dear Parents/Guardians,


Back to School Night-
Where: Upton Middle School
When:  Tuesday, September 11th from 7:00-8:30 PM
Who:  Parents only
What:  A time to hear about the school year from your daughter/son's teachers.  Please ask your son/daughter who they have for their 1st hour teacher and report to that room to receive the schedule/map and to start the evening.



Mike Smith Assembly today-
Please ask your son/daughter about the assembly today at Upton Middle School. Mike Smith gave a lot of great advice and motivation to our students to start out the school year.  Things to ask about:  
  • Wishing, Talking, or Doing
  • Their dream
  • How they are going to treat people
  • The person they will be remembered as 
  • Wanting things or wanting expeiences
We had many other great takeaways, but these would be some good conversation starters around the dinner table.  This assembly kept over 700 kids on the edge of their seats for one hour this morning. 


Interact Meeting Kickoff-
The first Interact Meeting of the year is tomorrow morning at 7:10 AM in the media center.  The interact club is open to all Upton Middle School Students.  Interact is the middle school version of the Rotary club, and is a service club.

Quote of the week-
"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." - Mark Twain



Have a great week and see some of you tomorrow,
Mr. Mandarino
