WEB by Jaylenn

As an 8th grader an option we have is to be a W.E.B. Leader. About

50 kids made W.E.B. About 10 days before school started we came to the 
school and trained for W.E.B. We tried two different activities that we used 
on the first day of W.E.B. We had a little break in between. And then as a group 
we just talked about our plan for the first day of W.E.B.

The first day of W.E.B was fun but kind of disorganized. None of the

groups got done with either activity. When the second W.E.B. day came along 
we all thought it would be a little better. Then it took a little while for the kids to 
find their group. And by the time we got seated we only had about 10 minutes 
to do everything. We hope next week is a little more organized.

Starting the year by Braylissa

The first week of school was busy and different. The first thing that was different is that the 
doors didn’t open until 7:10 this year instead of 7:00 o'clock. Walking into the school was a 
little scary, there were a lot of kids walking around looking a little lost. As a WEB leader this 
year it was my job to help them find their locker and help them open it, that is also a new thing 
I did this year. After the bell rang at 7:30, I went to homeroom, which was another difference 
that we had this year.

Another thing that is different this year is math. There are 3 math classes you can take/be 
chose to take. There’s advanced math, algebra 1, and regular math. Advanced math is just a 
faster type of math and regular math is slower. Algebra 1 is 3 types of maths put together. 
Another difference is that we get out at 2:30 everyday instead of 2:27 and we get out at 2:30 
on Wednesday’s too instead of 1:27.

Spirit Week by Brice

9/19/19

If you had come to the halls of the middle school this week you would’ve noticed some 
strange outfits, well that's because this week is homecoming! For spirit week we dressed 
up in different styles like hawaiian day and decades day. On friday for spirit week is black 
and gold so if you come to the middle school you might see lots of black and gold. Also 
tomorow will be a half day for the es district. High school and middle school get out at 
11:45 and the elementary get outs at 12:45. The homecoming parade will be held downtown 
excelsior springs  so grab your candy bags and get ready for the candy. The homecoming 
game starts at 7:00 pm, at excelsior springs high school. We hope to see you at the game 
in your tiger gear!

Hey everyone! How is your day so far? Well I wanted to update you guys on what’s 
happening here at Techsperts. At the Learning Commons, you can come in, check 
out a book, use the computers, or just take a second to calm down and collect your 
thoughts at the Meditation Station! There you can color, play with Bloxels, squeeze 
your anger out with a squishy, or even, teach yourself how to play the piano!

to choose from & when we meet, you return the book/s & get to talk 
about the book/s you’ve read! Book Club dates are; October 10, 2019,
