Daily Announcements 02/10/2022
Good morning. This is Mrs. Moran & Mrs. Northcutt, and we are still celebrating National School Counseling Week. As we talk about being “better together,” we would like you to remember that embracing our differences makes us so much more interesting. We all have different abilities, different attributes, different interests, different goals, different families, different perspectives. Imagine what a boring world we’d live in if we were all the same. Piglet, of Winnie the Pooh fame, said, “The things that make me different are the things that make me ME.” What makes you YOU? Are you into sports? Do you like to spend time reading? Are you interested in changing the world? Are you new to this school or city? Do you have red hair, brown hair? Are you tall, short? Are you a good listener? Do you enjoy the quiet? Can you quote hundreds of movie lines? Celebrate the things that make you YOU and that make your friends THEM. We are so much more interesting together. Do you sometimes wonder what makes you YOU? You aren’t alone. We are adults, and we sometimes wonder about this, too. We are always growing and changing, and that’s OK. We’re here if you want to talk about it. Let’s grow together and celebrate our differences.

Here is the recap from the 7th and 8th grade girls basketball game against Union City.
7th grade: The 7th girls basketball team were victorious after playing Union City in the county tournament 25-22. After a slow start the lady bears pulled ahead at the end of the half and maintained the lead the rest of the game. Huge defensive stops were made, and the team handled the ball well under pressure. The Lady Bears will face Driver in the championship game tonight at Randolph Southern starting at 7:20.
8th grade: The Lady Bears were victorious after facing Union City in the second round of the county tournament, 33-10. The lady bears worked the ball well and added high pressure from the beginning to the end. They had some great steaks and were able to finish on the other end. The Lady Bears will face Driver in the championship game starting at 6:00 at Randolph Southern. We hope to see you there! Go Bears!!
