 Hawk Thoughts & Happenings

Team Pennoyer,

Let's just pretend that Bears game last Sunday night didn't really happen and bring our thoughts back to 1985...

Anyways, thanks to everyone again for making our Curriculum Night this past week a success!  The weather hopefully seems like it's taking a turn for the better, and I'm hoping your classrooms start to cool off a bit.  I know it hasn't been easy for everyone.  Enjoy the upcoming weekend and beautiful weather.  I'm going to be completely vulnerable here, and admit that I've somehow got hooked on the Netflix show "Dated & Related".  I'll be checking out some more episodes this weekend.  Don't ask questions, just give it a try if you have time and judge for yourself.

Picture Day is coming up on October 6th!

Safety Week will be the week of October 6th.  More information to come about Safety Week and how we'll run through our different drills with our students.

Just a reminder that I'm out of the building on Monday, September 26th and Thursday, September 29th next week.  Please utilize Rachel or Alicia first for any support you may need and then Kristin will be available as well.

Hawk Action Items 

• One on One Meetings w/ Adam 
• If you still need to set this up, there are still some dates/times left.  If we didn't get a chance to connect, please reach out to me and we can find a time in early October if needed.  I've really enjoyed these one on one meetings with everyone!

• Sign Up September 26-30

• Stipend Openings for JV Girls and JV Boys Basketball Teams...Connect w/ Adam if interested.

• Please Complete the Principal’s Crew Survey by September 30th.  Then I'll reach out to students' families that are chosen and our first meetings will be Wednesday, Oct. 5th during lunch/recess times.

• Clubs - We're getting some new and engaging clubs going that we're really excited about, and there are exiting clubs beginning to start up as well, but if at any time during the school year you’re interested in starting up a new club, please submit your ideas HERE!  Also, please remember for all Clubs (new and old ones) we would like to create a helpful link on our website to showcase all of the wonderful opportunities for our students at Pennoyer.  You can simply create a one page Google Doc or Slide and share it with Pat and I.  Here’s an EXAMPLE for your reference if needed. If you haven't completed this yet, please do so. Even if your club isn't starting soon, we'd like to get our website updated with all of this information in the next week or so. Thanks so much!

Hawk Celebrations

I'm so proud to see extracurriculars like Girl's Softball going on at Pennoyer!  I know volleyball and soccer are just around the corner.  It's great to see our students out there having fun and competing.  Thanks to Coach Nelson for being so dedicated and getting this softball team going even with such a late start to this school year.
