Belonging Projects

By Richard Swanson
Byron Middle School Principal

We recently put our BEARS language to practice when our students helped develop the Belonging Projects for the end of Quarter 1. Students had discussions in their Bears Advisory time and decided to learn about and play different games together. The 6th-grade students taught their peers about some of their favorite games and then spent an hour playing them. The 7th grade created a "Minute To Win It" game show and competed against other Bears groups. The 8th-grade team signed up to learn some new games like Euchre. We even had a few individual groups that helped out in the community. Priority 3 of our Strategic Plan is "Develop well-rounded students in the areas of character, community, and academics. We will run these projects at the end of each Quarter. Our next afternoon will be covering the Educated and Active Learning components of our language when we have an Exploratory Day. We will be reaching out to our great community to help teach different sessions that our students can choose to learn about. It will be a lot of fun learning together. Go BEARS!
