So much fun in Mrs. Jeannie Hipp's 8th period PROS class. We exercised acts of kindness by participating in an interactive lesson using technology. Students found 10 kindness challenges posted on the wall throughout the JH campus. Each challenge contained a QR code in which they had to scan & discover a challenge to participate in. One challenge, was expressing kindness & gratitude towards a custodian. We have the best custodians at QJH! Of course, we had to take a picture! 📷️ Another challenge, for example, was putting a post-it note of inspiration on a locker for a friend.
Remember to get your report cards signed and returned to your 7th period teacher for Top Dog Competition points!
Just a reminder that the Pride Trip permission forms are due tomorrow, October 25. If these are not brought back tomorrow, students will not be allowed to attend the trip next week.
