Each morning, our third graders bring the announcements to us over the Media Retrieval System.  They are on camera for the whole school to see inside their classrooms!  They tell us what is for lunch, and also lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Moment of Silence.  Our second graders tell us the weather forecast for the day, and suggest whether or not we should wear our coats outside at recess. 

Also, our guidance counselor, Mrs. Meyers, starts our morning off by giving us a character thought for the day.  One example might be, "your character is determined by who you really are inside yourself.  You control the kind of person that you want to be!  No one else can do that for you!"

Our principal, Dr. Hutchens, informs us of any student or staff birthdays for the day or weekend. On Fridays, she announces students who have been "Caught Being Good" that week.  These are students who have performed a kind act or good deed that week, and were spotting doing so by a teacher.  Dr. Hutchens also announces any other special awards, such as "On a Roll", that may have been awarded for that week.
