Fall pictures will be taken tomorrow Monday, Oct. 17th. All students will take pictures to be included in the yearbook, but students must have order envelopes and money on the day of pictures in order to purchase. Students will take pictures with their homeroom teachers and should give their money and order envelopes directly to the photographer. Fall Sports pictures will be taken tomorrow afternoon during practices.
This week all of our Dragon 7th graders will participate in the Gallup Student Poll. Our students are joining thousands of other students nationwide in taking this poll which measures the hope, engagement, and wellbeing of America’s students. The Gallup organization has found that hope, engagement, and wellbeing are key factors that drive student grades, achievement scores, retention, and future employment. Our students’ participation in this important survey will provide crucial insight to help facilitate new conversations and solutions for student success in school and life. Please send your student to school rested on Tuesday morning so they can offer their best insights during the survey. If you have questions about the survey, you may contact Mr. Gaddy.
Brogden’s first dance of the year will take place on Friday, 10/21, from 7-9 pm. The dance is for Brogden students only and the cost is $5.00. Students may also want to bring money for concessions. Students may wear costumes but no masks are allowed. Rides must pick up promptly at 9:00.
7th graders are planning a trip to Morehead Planetarium, Carrboro ArtsCenter, and the Ackland Art Museum for December 9. Money and permission slips are due by October 27th 9:30 AM. Students will not need additional funds, but are asked to pack a bag lunch.
We are proud to announce that Brogden has earned designation from the state as an Exemplar School in the NorthCarolina Positive Behavior Intervention & Support (PBIS) Initiative Annual Recognition. Our school met all the requirements for this recognition and demonstrated the results that the school and PBIS school team have achieved by working together, using school data to implement research-based practices, and developing supportive systems to teach all students new behaviors.
Have a great week, Dragons!
