Abbott Middle School

WOW! What a treat we had this morning. Members of SALT joined us at our staff meeting (yes, these middle schoolers willingly showed up at 7:45!). They participated in a Fishbowl discussion facilitated by staff members regarding student voice and their experiences at Abbott. 🗣️

These students shared their favorite things about Abbott, challenges they’ve faced and overcome at school, the importance of student voice, and advice for teachers. You could have heard a pin dropped as the staff leaned in to hear what these brave students were willing to share. 👂🏼

Takeaways:
✅ They NOTICE the teachers that show up for them every day.
✅ They want students to treat each other with kindness and respect.
✅ They feel supported by the adults in the building.
✅ They (really) like seeing their friends every day.

Parents, you should be proud. Thank you for trusting us with your kids. These Warriors make every day better. 💙

Thank you to the Warrior families and friends that came out to support the Abbott Middle School band last night at their winter concert. The band sounded amazing and the pies… well we will have to ask Mrs. Hartley how the pies tasted.

As usual, Mrs. Hartley was a trooper and took pies to the face for students who completed BANDO (similar to Bingo… but more musical).

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. 🦃

Yesterday, our National Junior Honors Society students assembled Thanksgiving boxes for 44 Abbott families. The boxes contained everything families needed for a full Thanksgiving feast. The students did an AMAZING job and it was so nice to see their focus and joy in this act of service to the community.

We want to thank all of the community and staff members who donated as well as Abbott’s Student Council who joined us to help! Special thanks to those who made deliveries to families who requested it.

We love our Abbott community and hope that everyone has a restful, fulfilling holiday break.
