NEW ADDITIONS TO THE ANNOUCEMENTS

FFA meeting to finalize information about a few items on Tuesday, October 23 during High School lunch and 8th grade Win Time.  

I couldn't be more proud of our runners last night as they all ran great today at the State Qualifying meet held in Marshalltown. We had 10 of the 13 athletes that competed run their fastest times of the season in two loaded races. Shoutout to Avery Fricke for setting a new 5K school record as well! (breaking the record set by Mikayla Houge last season)....

Counselor Corner:

Students and Parents something new. The "School Counselor Box" is the most common way the students at Collins-Maxwell let the School Counselor know they have a concern that they need to discuss. Students fill out an index card that is located in any teachers room, office and counselor office with their first and last name and just a few quick words/sentences as to why they want to talk to the counselor, or a concern that is going on. Once the student has filled out the index card, he/she places it in the "School Counselor Box" in Ms. Martin’s Room. If Ms. Martin is gone, the box will be located in the MS/HS office. 

Appointments are then set up for the students by the School Counselor. Parents are not contacted about these student appointments, unless the School Counselor deems necessary.
