TUESDAY *Bravo day *Intramurals WEDNESDAY *E Schedule - look closely since we have not had one of these yet this year - 2nd period repeats TWICE. The first time 2nd period occurs, you will all give the THON test to your 2nd period classes. It is fairly straightforward. We will use a scantron sheet. Kids bubble answers on the scantron. Make sure they write their names on the scantron. They can write on the thon test booklet and keep the booklet afterwards if they want. They only need to turn in their scantron AND THEIR SPONSOR SHEET so I can record their score on their sponsor sheet and return it to them. We will return the sheets THURSDAY during 2nd period, so please paper clip your scantrons and sponsor sheets with a note saying which teacher they belong to, so we can get them all returned to you tomorrow. *Charlie Day THURSDAY *Alpha Day *Intramurals *Detention *Faculty PD on smart boards in room 41 at 0730, followed by curriculum committee meeting in room 30 (If the company cannot do the PD this Thursday, I will let you know by COB Wednesday.

CLASS LEADERS: Remember to have your class leaders give visitors tours of the room when they enter. They should shake hands firmly, look visitors in the eye, greet them and introduce themselves, and tell them what the class is learning and WHY! 4. FOOD DRIVE: Companies are having a food drive for the month of November. Food gets brought to company classrooms for the competition. 5. EXTENDED FORMATION: We will have Extended Formation schedule Wednesday, and Friday in order to practice for the Pass in Review next week. I realize this makes the classes shorter, but we really need to get in as much practice time as possible. 6. SIXTH GRADE MILE RUN: The 6th grade will do the in-cadence mile run this Thursday. For those of you who were here last year, you will remember we started a tradition of physical challenges for each grade level. Students who successfully complete each grade level physical challenge will get special recognition. This Thursday, we start with the 6th grade mile run. Zak Lara took charge of this last year, and I am hoping he will do the same this year. The plan is for them to run the neighborhood from roughly Thursday morning as four separate units (one platoon per company) running as a regiment under the direction of the regimental Sergeant Major and TACs. Zak will send out details once they are available. Students who are new to NVMI or who did not complete the challenge last year are also able to join the run.
