Happy Wednesday everyone!! Today is November 29, 2023, it's a B  - Day and it's a wonderful day to learn!

Birthdays:  Happy Birthday to: Spiritualessence F. 

Today is.. NATIONAL PERSONAL SPACE DAY

National Personal Space Day on November 30th promotes kindness toward sensitivities and supports healing and self-protection by recognizing everyone’s right to decide when and how to be touched. Touch can hurt. Many Bacteria and viruses can harm.

The day provides an opportunity to be aware of a person’s unspoken need for space or a gentler and welcomed touch. When you see someone wearing the peach symbol, forgo the handshake or hug and offer a smile and another way to show you care.

Welcoming Ritual:  Would you rather build a snowman or blanket fort with your family and why?

Rooms and The Springfield District 186 App

Students and Parents:  Please download the SPS 186 app to your mobile device, and search for Springfield District 186 in the app store or Google Play Store.  

We have a fantastic new communication tool called Rooms.  Currently, LMS is using Rooms for communication for Extracurricular Activities to keep parents and students informed on practice times, schedules, and announcements.  Rooms also allow messages to be sent back and forth between the school and home!  If you have any questions, please email or call Mr. Hoffek

Students:  Please remember to use the restroom when you are dismissed from the Cafeteria at lunch before you go outside.  7th Grade Students, go directly back to your 5th-hour class after lunch.  There is no reason for 7th Graders to be on the Garden Level when you come inside from lunch.
