ARTICLE OF THE WEEK (AOW)

Friend, popularity and feeling like you want to fit in are all a very real reality in Middle School.  This is what makes middle school fun and hard at the same time.  There are so many different types of students on our campus and as you can probably see at Brunch and Lunch, there are a lot of different kind of cliques.  This is a very good article in providing advice about how to deal with these cliques.  

HOME WORKOUT OF THE WEEK 

My home workout challenge of the week for you is to complete 2 rounds of the Bear Fit Challenge.  See how your total compare to the ones you had in class.
