Please hand in your<br \/>\nforms to Mrs. Charbonneau by Jan. 2.  Thanks!<\/p>\n<p>Sheboygan Falls Middle School students will have the opportunity to<br \/>\nparticipate in the annual *Talent Fest on Friday, January 12th, 2018, at<br \/>\n6:30PM in the middle school auditorium.*  Students interested in<br \/>\nparticipating in the Talent Fest should begin to think about what type of<br \/>\nperformance they wish to display.  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. Thanks!*<\/p>\n<p>GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAYERS: Please sign up in the office ASAP and make sure<br \/>\nyou have all of the necessary paperwork taken care of before the season<br \/>\nstarts on January 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>*SFMS Jazz Ensemble &#8211; Schedule*<\/p>\n<p>All rehearsals are held in the MS Band Room 7:00-7:45 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>December Schedule<\/p>\n<p>Fri Dec 22<\/p>\n<p>Jingles &#038; Jazz<\/p>\n<p>Lunch Performances<\/p>\n<p>*Health Tip*<\/p>\n<p>*5 Healthy Eating Tips for the Holidays*<\/p>\n<p>1)  Holiday-Proof Your Plan:<br \/>\n             -Eat close to your usual times to keep your blood sugar steady.<\/p>\n<p>             -If you have a sweet treat, cut back on the carbs (like<br \/>\npotatoes and bread) during the meal<\/p>\n<p>             -Don&#8217;t skip meals to save up for a feast. Keep your blood<br \/>\nsugar in control.<\/p>\n<p>2)  Outsmart the Buffet:<\/p>\n<p>             -Have a small plate of food and then move away from the table<\/p>\n<p>             -Start with vegetables to take the edge off your appetite<\/p>\n<p>             -Eat slowly. It takes 20 minutes for your brain to realize you<br \/>\nare full<\/p>\n<p>             -Avoid or limit alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>3)  Fit in Favorites:<\/p>\n<p>             -NO food is on the naughty list. Slow down and savor each<br \/>\nbite. A small serving can help beat the craving.<\/p>\n<p>4)  Keep Moving:<\/p>\n<p>              -Being active is your secret holiday weapon. It can help make<br \/>\nup for the eating and reduce stress. Try taking a family walk after a<br \/>\nholiday meal.<\/p>\n<p>5)  Get your ZZZ&#8217;s:<\/p>\n<p>              -Sleep loss makes it harder to control your blood sugar, and<br \/>\nwhen you are sleep deprived you tend to eat more and prefer high-fat,<br \/>\nhigh-sugared food. Aim for 7-8 hours per night.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you and have a safe and Happy Holiday Season from your nurses!<\/p>\n<p>*DECEMBER*<\/p>\n<p>25-Jan 1          Winter Break \u2013 No School<\/p>\n<p>*JANUARY*<\/p>\n<p> 9                     Girls Basketball 8th Grade @ Manitowoc Washington\/7th<br \/>\nGrade @ Home<\/p>\n<p>11                    Girls Basketball 8th Grade @ Home\/7th Grade at Two<br \/>\nRivers<\/p>\n<p>12                    MS Talent Show \u2013 6:30 p.m. \u2013 MS Auditorium<\/p>\n<p>15                    Spanish placement test \u2013 8th grade<\/p>\n<p>16                    Spanish placement test \u2013 8th grade<\/p>\n<p>                        Girls Basketball @ Home against New Holstein<\/p>\n<p>                        *7th grade at ES Gym\/8th grade at MS Gym*<\/p>\n<p>18                    Spanish placement test make-up date<\/p>\n<p>19                    Spanish placement test make-up date<\/p>\n<p>                        Middle School Dance<\/p>\n<p>22                    Lambert Family Program \u2013 5th &#038; 6th 8:45 am\/7th &#038; 8th<br \/>\n10:00 am<\/p>\n<p>23                    Girls Basketball @ Plymouth 7th &#038; 8th<\/p>\n<p>                        SFMS Jazz Ensemble Clinic &#038; Concert &#8211; Plymouth<\/p>\n<p>25                    Girls Basketball 8th Grade @ Home\/7th Grade at<br \/>\nManitowoc Washington<\/p>\n<p>26                    No School (Professional Development for teachers)<\/p>\n<p>29                    Freshman Curriculum Night \u2013 SFHS \u2013 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>                        Second Quarter Grades Due 3:45 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>30                    Girls Basketball @ Kiel 7th &#038; 8th<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Sheboygan Falls Middle School* *Student Announcements* *12\/22\/2017* *\u201cA\u201d Day* *Attention 5th grade parents! * The school nurses will start vision screenings on all 5th grade students during the month of January.
