The STOCKTON STRONG Middle School Staff Member of the Month for March is Mrs. Kelly Postlewait. Comments from our MS staff: I know Kelly has always been a help with our students when it comes to speech, but adding her into our classrooms this year has been like unearthing a rare gem. She is so wonderful! She has seamlessly transitioned into this new role, and has built a great rapport with those students who need the most help. Kelly not only provides that help, but encourages each of those students to go above and beyond. She truly cares for their well-being and they know it. Thank you for fully joining us, Kelly, we have really appreciated your presence in our building! Kelly goes above and beyond to make sure she is helping all students fill in the gaps. She is always thinking of ways to better support our kids and is always a great ear to brainstorm solutions with. She has a lot of places to be during the day, but manages to make a meaningful impact with students each day. She is always popping in to give support where needed without being asked. Her role has been vital to helping us bridge the gap between Elementary and Middle school and she has done a phenomenal job. Kelly pulls out students to give them individual instruction. I get to watch the way she interacts with them. She is kind and patient and develops a great rapport with them. She is a great asset to our building. We could use some more "Kellys"! Thank you Mrs. Postlewait for all that you do!!

Congratulations to the MS March Students of the Month. The character word of the month for March was SELF-CONTROL. 5TH - Bryson Gaudreau Bryson is an ideal student for the character word of self-control. He is polite, respectful, and keeps his composure at all times. Bryson can be placed into a group with any members of his class and he maintains self-discipline throughout the task. If inappropriate behavior is going on around him, he has the willpower to stay focused on his job and not join in with those misbehaving. Bryson is always showing self-control. He is able to laugh and have fun during school; but also knows when it's time to calm down and focus. No matter what is going on around him, he is always able to control his actions and do what he needs to do to be successful. I admire this about Bryson because it's not always easy to stay focused and show self-control with friends and classmates around. But Bryson shows up every day ready to be his best self! 6TH - Aleah Daulton Aleah is an example of a person with self-control. She pays attention when the teacher is giving the lesson, she finishes her work on time, she uses time management skills, and listens when others are talking without interrupting them. Aleah is so polite, she has a sweet disposition, and her presence each day in class is a joy. 7TH - Connor Bradshaw Who better for this award, than Connor... He truly exhibits good self- control. I have never seen him get really riled up. I have never seen him lose his temper. He stays calm and in control. He is a delight and a good example to his peers. Connor is very deserving of this award. Connor is always very level headed. No matter what is going on in class, he controls his response and stays focused on what he needs to get done. Connor always stays calm under pressure.” 8TH - Blaze Perry Blaze is a great example of what self-control embodies. When she finds herself among a chaotic situation she has the ability to not be a part of the problem but finds a way to help be a part of the solution. She always has her work turned in on time and when she is gone, she comes back the next day asking for her missing work. Blaze is a joy to have in class and a real hard worker. She has a very bright future.

Congratulations to our February MS Students of the Month! The character word of the month for February was MOTIVATION. 5TH - Briley Bolte Briley is a very motivated young lady who strives to do her very best. She makes plans for completing her assignments and plans out when she has time to do her other daily tasks. As the year has progressed, Briley has improved at prioritizing her assignments, and she uses her time wisely. Also, Briley motivates her classmates to do their very best. If her class is complaining, she brings them around and shows them the bright side. If students are struggling, she is willing to help her fellow peers and give them some words of encouragement. She is a friend to all her classmates and is always willing to lend them a hand. Her helpfulness, cheerfulness, and positive attitude are very influential to her fellow fifth graders, and she is a positive and motivational role model. When given any assignment, Briley is motivated to get started immediately. She uses her work time both efficiently and effectively. If she doesn't understand something, she always asks for help. 6TH - Prairie Wendt Prairie is a great example of a motivated student. She shows an enthusiasm for learning that is inspiring to those around her. Prairie seeks opportunities to excel and doesn't have the words, ‘I can't’ in her vocabulary. She gives her best effort in her assignments and works well with all students. Prairie is friendly, outgoing, and fun-loving. She also has a contagious smile. 7TH - Micah Manes Micah is always extremely motivated! Sometimes he can even be a little overboard, but I love his enthusiasm, his energy, the way he pushes in to engage with others and even with teachers. You can always depend on Micah to keep you on top of your game. This student is very conscientious regarding most aspects of his life, but especially about school and the effect he has on those around him. 8TH - Lydia Bahr This student is an excellent partner. She helps to motivate those who do not readily engage in their work to get excited about a task. She doesn't take over or make her classmates feel like they can't do something. Instead, she helps them understand the material and the assignment -- she is a true motivator!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
