Students at Claxton Middle School were treated to a cool reward for their hard work this week. The school held a BAM (Behavior, Attendance, Missing Assignments) event to celebrate students who exhibited good behavior, perfect attendance, and no missing assignments. All students were invited to participate in an effort to encourage everyone to work hard and be at school everyday with good behavior and were surprised with refreshing snow cones from Kelipi and Palikona's Hawaiian Shave Ice truck during lunch. Flavors like Tiger's Blood and Blue Hawaiian put smiles on students' faces. The snow cones provided a sweet way to motivate students to be successful this school year. The BAM event was a refreshing boost to wrap up the week on a positive note. Students now have more incentive to keep up the good work in the weeks ahead.
Students at Claxton Middle School were inspired by a motivational speech from special guest Troy Kemp of the Ron Clark Academy. Mr. Kemp captivated students with a powerful metaphor - comparing them to eagles soaring high or pigeons staying on the ground. He emphasized that the choices students make daily determine if they rise above challenges or remain grounded by them. Through engaging stories and humor, Mr. Kemp urged students to act with integrity and purpose to become high-flying eagles. Students listened to his message about being confident, avoiding negative peer pressure, and keeping their eyes on bright futures. After the encouraging speech, the students were motivated to make good choices and lead their lives like eagles take to the skies. Mr. Kemp's visit empowered students to believe in themselves and create their own success.

Mrs. Sefers's 6th grade math classes at Claxton Middle School kicked off the new school year with a multiplication review. Students participated in engaging activities to refresh their skills with multiplication facts and concepts. Mrs. Sefers circulated the room, checking for understanding and praising students' effort. 6th grade students should be able to demonstrate improved fluency in multiplication. This review set the stage for students to build on these fundamentals as they advance in math this year. Through interactive lessons, Mrs. Sefers ensured students started off on the right foot in 6th grade math.

🚸📚 School Transportation Safety Reminders🚸📚
As we welcome our Tigers back, please help us prioritize safety in school zones and with our school buses and drop-off/ pick-up zones!
🚦 Slow Down: School zones are designated to protect our Tigers, families, and guests. It's crucial to abide by the reduced speed limits posted in these areas. Slowing down gives drivers more time to react to unexpected situations, reducing the risk of accidents.
🚸 Stay Alert: Humans can be unpredictable! Watch out for children crossing the road, waiting at bus stops, etc. Eliminate distractions while driving, like using your phone, so you can be fully focused on the road and its surroundings.
👩🏫 Be Cautious During Drop-Offs/Pick-Ups: During drop-off and pick-up times, traffic can get congested. We ask for and appreciate your patience! Please follow our school traffic guidelines.
🛑 Stop for School Buses: When a school bus stops and extends its stop-arm, it means children are getting on or off. It is illegal to pass a school bus at this time, so always stop and wait until the stop-arm is retracted.
🚸 Spread Awareness: Please help us promote school zone safety in our community. Share safety tips with friends, family, and neighbors. The more people are aware, the safer we can be!
