Thomas Jefferson Middle School Announcements
Monday, April 11, 2022 – Day B
1) Birthdays Today – April 11th…No birthdays today.
2) Today’s Monday message is from “Get in the Zone”, which is one of our Mindsets units. I encourage you to, “Think before you act. If you think you may be angry or about to say something or do something maybe you shouldn’t, pause and take a minute. Visualize how you should act or what you should say and put your mind in a happy place before you act. If we act while we are angry, we may make the situation worse”. It’s okay to make a mistake. It’s what happens after the mistake that is incredibly important. Reach out to a trusted adult to help you get your mind and emotions back in check.
3) Attention…Any 8th graders, who will be attending Hempstead in the fall and are thinking about playing football there will be 2 days a week to focus on the strength and conditioning program.
