Students may perform in only one act<br \/>\n(unless it is a larger school organized ensemble), which can be either a<br \/>\nsolo or group performance.  Types of performances presented in the past<br \/>\ninclude singing, dancing, musical presentations, short skits, juggling, or<br \/>\nany act that displays a student\u2019s talent.  Now is the time to determine if<br \/>\nyou wish to participate, in what way, and with whom.  Performances will be<br \/>\nlimited to 2 minutes.  Students who elect to sing must be prepared to do so<br \/>\nwithout singing over the voice on a cd.  Singers should include the name of<br \/>\nsong they will perform on the permission slip and Mrs. Charbonneau will<br \/>\nprovide a cd of the music for you to practice with.  Parents, please assist<br \/>\nyour child in assuring that the performance, music and lyrics, and costumes<br \/>\nare appropriate for our middle school audience.  A printed copy of the<br \/>\nlyrics to music to be played or sung must be brought to the first rehearsal.<\/p>\n<p>\nStudents wishing to participate must be willing to thoroughly prepare and<br \/>\npractice at home.  Participants *must attend either* of the scheduled<br \/>\nrehearsal dates, as indicated below.  Acts must be well prepared, polished,<br \/>\nand ready to perform at the two rehearsals.  The rehearsal dates are;<\/p>\n<p>\n\u2022 *Monday, January 8th from 3:15-4:30PM*<\/p>\n<p>*\u2022 Thursday, January 11th from 3:15-4:30PM*<\/p>\n<p>\nThe program begins at 6:30 PM in the auditorium, and will end at<br \/>\napproximately 8:00PM.  Students should arrive at the auditorium at least 20<br \/>\nminutes prior to show time. The students must bring\/wear their costume and<br \/>\nany props needed, unless they have elected to leave these items with<br \/>\ndirector after their final rehearsal date.  Students must be seated in the<br \/>\nback of the auditorium, in show order, as predetermined by director.<\/p>\n<p>\n*Students wishing to participate can pick up the forms outside Mrs.<br \/>\nCharbonneau&#8217;s room and return them to her no later than Jan. 2.

Please sign up in the office ASAP and make sure you have all of the<br \/>\nnecessary paperwork taken care of before the season starts on January 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>\nMessage from the Crossing Guard: For safety concerns could all students<br \/>\nplease stay on the same side as the school when crossing by Blessed<br \/>\nTrinity. It is too hard when there are kids trying to cross on both sides<br \/>\nof the street when crossing Giddings Street.  Thank you   Box Tops Contest<br \/>\nReminder: The contest ends Wednesday December 6th at the end of the day.<br \/>\nAll box tops should be labeled with the Wednesday Falcon time teacher and<br \/>\nput into the box located in the office.

Middle School students are starting puberty<br \/>\nand hormones are kicking in.  At this time, hygiene needs can change<br \/>\ndrastically.  Please do not assume that your child understands these<br \/>\nchanges and how to handle it.<\/p>\n<p>\nHandwashing- Clean hands and fingernails are one of the best ways to<br \/>\nprotect yourself and family from getting sick. Scrub for 20 seconds using<br \/>\nsoap and water.<\/p>\n<p>\nShowering\/Bathing- Children need daily bathing\/showering. They need to use<br \/>\na mild soap and concentrate on their face, hands, feet, underarms, groin<br \/>\nand bottom. Faces should be washed twice daily.<\/p>\n<p>\nHair Washing- The frequency of hair washing depends on your child&#8217;s type of<br \/>\nhair and activity level. Children with oily hair may need to wash their<br \/>\nhair more frequently.<\/p>\n<p>\nUnderarm care- At this age, sweat glands become more active and may cause<br \/>\nan odor and more sweat.  It is a good time to start thinking about using a<br \/>\ndeodorant\/antiperspirant.<\/p>\n<p>\nOral Hygiene- Brush teeth at least twice daily (and floss, too). This will<br \/>\nprevent tooth decay and bad breath.<\/p>\n<p>\nChanging Clothes- Have your child wear a new set of clothing daily<br \/>\n(especially socks and underwear). This is an important part of hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>\nAlways remember your child\u2019s own doctor is a great resource and you can<br \/>\naddress any further questions.<\/p>\n<p>\nReferences<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parents\/children\/healthy_children.html\">www.cdc.gov\/parents\/children\/healthy_children.html<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/parents\/teens\/healthy_children.html\">www.cdc.gov\/parents\/teens\/healthy_children.html<\/a><br \/>\nAdditional Yearbook Staff Meeting next week Thursday, Dec. 7th, 3:15 to 4:15 in<br \/>\nMrs. Mansker&#8217;s room.
