This is a reminder that there is no school for Whitman students tomorrow due to graduation. Pyle students who normally take classes at Whitman will not have classes. If you report to Pyle to start the day, you will report to the cafeteria. You may also choose to report to Pyle at your normal arrival time; however, you will need to provide your own transportation to school.
Are you a military child, with one or more family members in the military? Do you want to have some fun and meet other military kids? Tomorrow during TAG, we will hold an event for military children. We also welcome our staff who are from military families! Just sign up in the counseling office today.
There will be a required meeting for all 6th grade orientation ambassadors during TAG tomorrow in Ms. Goodstein's room - room 40 in the basement. We will be going over the details and job duties.
There are still 201 books missing from the media center! Return your books. All 7th and 8th grade obligations have already been written, so if you are in 7th or 8th grade and are just now getting around to returning your book, you need to turn it in WITH the paperwork, or you need to speak to Ms. Knafelc directly in order for it to be cleared.
The Pyle Middle School Art Exhibit is on display at Montgomery Mall near Macy’s until Sunday, June 10th. Please take a trip to visit the display and see the exceptional artwork from our student artists here at Pyle. You can visit the display during normal mall hours. Congrats to the artists on screen who have artwork on display. (If you see them, be sure to congratulate them!)
The month of June is LGBT Pride month. We wish to recognize some of the people who have been influential in the LGBT movement. Most know him as Mr. Sulu from Star Trek, but George Takei also regularly speaks out on LGBT equality issues. His Facebook and Twitter feeds are fodder for viral LGBT-friendly posts. He has said that “Being gay is a natural part of who I am.”
This Day in History: On this day in 1775, the United Colonies changed their name to the United States.
Today’s Weird Fact: Only 2 animals (not including insects and crustaceans) can see completely behind themselves without turning their heads: the rabbit and the parrot.
Today’s Daily Quote: “Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”
Today’s Fun Holiday: June 7th is Chocolate Ice Cream Day. The exact origins this day are unknown, but few people will need a reason to celebrate an event that requires the eating of chocolate ice cream. Open the freezer and grab any tub that is close to hand.
Corny Joke of the Day: I learned how to pick locks. It has really opened up a lot of doors for me.
Today’s Weather Forecast: Cloudy. High of 78 degrees and a low of 63.
At Pyle Middle School, we are committed to: Demonstrating a passion for learning, Encouraging Academic and Personal Growth, Sustaining a nurturing and respectful environment, and Honoring Diversity. Have a Thrilling Thursday, Pyle!
