What's happening in Advisory?

Wednesday morning during late start, our middle school advisors gathered to talk with each other about the goals of our advisory program, sharing ideas for our advisory groups and general planning/problem solving.  As a spin off to this conversation, I decided to ask our 8th graders to think about their specific advisories and how they can help support their advisor by bringing positive leadership to their groups.  I was certainly pleased with the conversations that occurred and the thoughtfulness our 8th grade students showed.  I wanted to share a few of their thoughts with you:

Recently our advisories worked together to raise money for the American Cancer Society through a change drive.  We raised over $500!  

Cori Culp's advisory completed every activity on the suggested activities list for Advisory in January and they are on a mission to win our 3rd quarter contest challenge.  So far they are in the lead!

Robert Wilson's advisory held a bake sale and raised money for a local animal rescue group!

Debra Anderson's advisory spent some time in January working together to complete a puzzle, and they did it :)

And finally, Andi Wolfe's advisory worked long and hard at learning to knit and then knitting scarves that were donated to a local shelter!

Coming up soon in advisory we will have a Random Acts of Kindness challenge in which the advisories will be competing to see how many random acts of kindness they can complete over 4 days.
