Interact Club Doing Great Things! -
25 Interact Club members spent time with three 1st grade classes at Countryside Academy/Millburg Early Learning Center last Friday after school. This event has been an ongoing effort to promote literacy, STEM, and social mentoring by the Interact Club. The students were dressed holiday festive and passed out candy canes to all the first graders.

Unplug-
Every year at the break I always encourage parents to have your daughter/son unplug as much as possible. Less computer time and more family time, less phone time and more time with friends, less time on video games and more outdoor activities, etc. Two weeks away from their devices is healthy! This is my two cents editorial. 😄
Minecraft for Education-

Two successful lockdown drills so far this year-
We have had two very well run lockdown drills this school year so far. Our staff works with students to make sure they know what to do in the case of an outside/inside intruder, and during class or a passing time. The local authorities observe these and give feedback on improvement.
Student Council this Wednesday-
Student council will be meeting Wednesday after school until 3:45 to assemble candy canes in Mrs. Hubble's room. We need as many hands as possible so all members should try to attend.
Spirit Days Continue at Upton-
