I noticed a lot of people arm wrestling outside last week. There were large crowds surrounding them, and this is often an indicator to the adults that something may be wrong. I realize that people think this is a harmless thing to do, but we have a hands-off rule here at school, and even though the intention is fun, the impact is that someone could still get hurt. So, as I said to those I found doing it, and now I am saying to everyone: Arm wrestling is not allowed at school. If you are found doing it, and do not stop when asked, you will be sent to the office to speak with me. Thank you for your help in keeping Colquitz safe for everyone.
Fri-Yay! at Colquitz – A Celebration of Student Awesomeness!
Here at Colquitz, we know that there are many students who are going over and beyond every day in some way. Some are working extra hard on their learning. Some go out of their way to be helpers to staff. Others make sure they are kind, respectful and safe with their friends and classmates, and support them when they’re having a hard time. Others try to make people smile when they need it, or help clean up garbage or a mess that they didn’t even create. No matter what you do to make Colquitz a better place, we want to make sure you know we see you and appreciate you.
So, starting this week, we will have a draw every Friday to celebrate those who are being awesome in some way. All week, staff will be paying attention, and when they notice you doing something special in a self-less way, they will write your name on the “Fri-Yay” form for your grade, and give it to you to bring to the office. In the office, we will have three containers: one for grade 6s, one for grade 7s, and one for grade 8s. Remember to put yours in the right grade’s container! We will draw one from each every week.
Then, on Friday, if your name is drawn and announced on the announcements, come to the office for a prize and a big cheer from your class! Looking forward to seeing all of you bring in your nominations!
