Cheers to Jesse, Erich, Calah the Office Manager, and their team over at Jewell Elementary—the 50th birthday celebration was an amazing event tonight! I was so amazed at all the former staff and students who came from near and far to check out the school, including the first principal 50 years ago, Bill Scott! (Small world–he was my advisor in my admin program 21 years ago!) It was such a special time for so many people. Nice work Jaguars!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear Pine Ridge Families,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an effort to have student voice more present in decision making at Pine Ridge, we are forming a student voice committee. The committee members, selected from grades 3rd-5th, will submit applications to be part of this committee. Below is a link to more information and the applications. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Myers at ned.myers@bend.k12.or.us<\/a>. Click here for the link to the information.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics of Interest\/Problem of Practice: <\/strong> Here is a link <\/a>where you can write down a topic of interest that you would like some thinking partners around. Some of the topics may be solved quickly here by your collaborative skills and ideas and some may make it to collaboration at a horizontal meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To costume or not to costume–that is the question: <\/strong> Here is a link <\/a>where you can let each other know what you are doing to adjust or not any costume celebrations. As a friendly reminder, should you choose to do costumes, we want to adhere to having respectful costumes as part of the celebrations. Here is a pre-made slide deck<\/a> and a poster<\/a> for teachers to discuss with students the way to celebrate appropriately.  Equity Coaches can support these conversations if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
