Gobble Gobble!  Is anyone else feeling like Thanksgiving is so late this year?  I cannot believe the Thanksgiving holiday is finally here.   We will be having our Annual Basketball Bash on Wednesday, November 27^th during the ½ day of school.  Our cheerleaders, chamber choir, jazz band and boys and girls basketball teams will be highlighted during the event.  It’s a fun filled time where teachers and students interact both on and off the court in fun and games.

Our Art Department is working with our Mural Club to create a mural in one of our busiest areas around “Kindness”.  The ultimate goal is that all students and staff will sign a “Kindness Contract” with their fingerprint as part of the mural.  Below are a few samples of the mural in progress!

I wanted to send a reminder to parents and students regarding our school safety protocols.  The safety and security of the students and staff at Roger Ludlowe Middle School is our number one priority.  Our Emergency Protocols include procedures for many different types of events.  Scenarios may include fire drills, lockdown drills, relocation drills and evacuation drills.  All drills are designed to have students and staff practice and train in the event of an actual emergency.  All staff has received safety training from both the Fairfield Police Department and administrative team on a wide range of emergency procedures.

I feel so thankful to be part of the RLMS community.  Our teachers, parents and students always seem to find time and energy to give.  Our Student Leadership Club recently raised funds for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Norma Pfriem Organization.  I recently met with our Counseling Office and we were discussing families in need and the holidays that are quickly approaching.

The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love to chatter in place of exercise.  Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households.  They no longer rise when elders enter the room.  They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

A quote to consider when your kids are driving you crazy!  I share this to make you aware that RLMS has a School Climate Committee.  Our school climate matters.  The committee is made up of teachers, Administrators, students (2 from each grade level), parents, counselors and our Dean.
