<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style='font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;'> Last year I had a cook out for our middle school and high school students! I had a volunteer come and grill all the hot dogs, I asked all the teachers to bring a wrapped dessert, and I had the principals and teachers help serve all the students! Both the high school and middle school students got an extended lunch and they loved it! </span> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style='font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;'> I would like to have the inflatable obstacle bounce house things and do another cookout again this year. I would like to get more of our community involved in helping this year. I want our students to know we appreciate their hard work and in return they get to do something fun! I have also thought about having a volleyball or dodge ball tournament! </span> </p>

<p class="MsoNormal"> <span style='font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;'>Hey, Anna Marie! It's been forever! I still laugh at many of the memories involving you and Wellston! We have a few different things that we do across the district. At the high school, spring EOIs earn exemptions from the winter semester exams mandated by policy at a 1-to-1 ratio but not subject related. (They can pass the Algebra 1 EOI and exempt their PE semester exam if so desired.) I take exempters to the auditorium during the 2 days of semester exams and we watch movies and play games. It's a great time! I usually only have about 120-150 kids per 2-hour time-slot for the exams, so the numbers aren't bad and a full movie typically fits. (I pre-approve all movie options.) I think this is the test that our junior high throws a Pizza party at the end of the year for those that pass it. I do not know the logistics of it so the when and where and what do you do with the others is not something I can help with. What about a celebration dance party? One time we partnered with a local fast food business and gave drink cards to those that passed. You might also try community partnering to accumulate prizes for drawings and let the kids put in a ticket per test passed in the bucket with multiple chances to win multiple prizes. Just a couple of incentives... BEST WISHES! Krista keeps me updated on your family!</span> </p>
