Why did the computer go to the doctor? It had a virus! Today’s theme for screen free week is hanging out with your friends and laughing together while being away from your screens! This is a good way to reconnect with your friends and family, and disconnect from your device. Sometimes taking a break from your screen gives you a chance to bond with others and spend quality time with your loved ones. Take a chance to get to know your friends better by playing games, doing crafts with them, or maybe just sitting and talking with them. Have a great screen-free day!

Join us for Spanish Club

Anybody can attend!

¡Te esperamos!

Daily Prayer

Today, help us be grateful for the chance to learn, grow, and be together as a community.

As service is due today, help us remember that helping others is more than an assignment—it is a way to show kindness and make a difference. Guide us to do our best today and treat others with respect.

Amen.

Starting next week, our school will be celebrating Screen-Free Week with the theme “Disconnect to Connect.” We’re challenging ourselves to spend less time on screens and more time connecting with friends, being active, and trying new things. Here’s a quick fun fact: research in neuroscience shows that too much screen time—especially before bed—can make it harder for middle schoolers to sleep and stay focused during the day. Throughout the week, we’ll have fun activities planned so you can stay engaged without being on your iPads. All middle school WIN Bs will be screen free, so teachers will have many fun activities for you to participate in! We hope you’re excited to disconnect to connect! Thanks, and have a great day!

Guess what today is… It’s May 1… Which means…

Service is Due! Please go into your Google classroom’s write down your service on the Google service tracker, turn it in, so that I can approve it! All service awards will be cut off today, and there were many of you who received an award this year a huge congratulations on that!

What's for dinner tonight? Chipotle! The Senior All-Night Party is having their Chipotle fundraiser tonight from 4-8 at the Chipotle in Oakdale. Mention the Hill-Murray All-Night Party at the register and we'll get 25% of all sales. Thank you for supporting the seniors.

Good morning, pioneers!
