Here, Mrs. Beaston is providing a lesson on computing integers to an audience of students from grade level 6th through 9th. As the math teacher, she noticed that students across grade levels had common questions when working on their math content.

10 SYMPATHY Our thoughts are with the following employees who experienced the loss of a loved one: Robyn Badder s (Washington Preschool) mother-in-law passed away. Martin White s (Administration) mother-in-law passed away. Brenda Sampson s (FHS, food service) mother passed away. Jenn Stillings (Bigelow Hill) father passed away. Janice Panuto s ( Glenwood) nephew passed away. I Tip of the Month: Christmas Tree Safety Fresh trees are less likely to catch fire, so look for a tree with vibrant green needles that are hard to pluck and don t break easily from its branches. The tree shouldn t be shedding its needles readily. Always place your tree away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights, and keep the tree base filled with water to avoid a dry out. Make sure all your indoor and outdoor Christmas lights have been tested in a lab by the UL or ETL/ ITSNA for safety, and throw out any damaged lights. Any lights you use outdoors must be labeled suitable for exterior placement, and be sure to plug them into a ground-fault circuit interrupter protected receptacle. Keep all your holiday candles away from your Christmas tree, surrounding furniture and décor. Bedtime means lights off! - Don t forget to turn your Christmas tree lights off each night. When your tree begins to drop its needles, it s time to say goodbye to your evergreen foliage until next year. So this year, follow our guidelines to avoid being another statistic in the National Fire Protection Association or United States Fire Administration report during the upcoming holiday season.
