Weekly Highlights & Announcements

🏫❤️🖤 ATTENDANCE WARS: EVERY DAY COUNTS! 🖤❤️

Braves Nation, let's talk about the importance of showing up! While attendance has taken a dip at both campuses, we're challenging our students and families to make daily attendance a priority. 

Every day in the classroom matters! Being present helps students stay on track with learning, build important routines, and stay connected with their teachers and classmates.

Of course, health comes first! If your child is sick, please keep them home to rest and recover. When your child misses school due to illness, remember to obtain a doctor's note and turn it in to the front office so their absence can be properly documented.

Let's work together to build strong attendance habits and help every Brave make the most of each school day! Every student. Every day. Every opportunity. Let's show up, Brave Nation! ❤️🖤

🍎🥣 BREAKFAST PSA: FUEL UP FOR A GREAT DAY! ❤️🖤

A reminder to our Braves families: Breakfast is served at school from 7:00–7:15 AM. Students who need or plan to eat school breakfast should arrive during this time so they have an opportunity to eat before the school day begins.

A nutritious breakfast is more than just a meal - it helps fuel students' brains and bodies! Eating in the morning supports focus, concentration, energy, and learning throughout the school day.

We know mornings can be busy, but if your child is eating breakfast on the go, try choosing something that provides lasting energy instead of starting the day with candy, chips, or soda. Here are a few easy options:
🍌 Banana or apple with peanut butter
🥣 Yogurt or a drinkable yogurt
🧀 Cheese stick and whole-grain crackers
🥚 Hard-boiled egg
🥛 Milk or a smoothie
🍓 Fresh fruit with a granola bar
🥯 Whole-grain toast or a breakfast sandwich
🥜 Trail mix with nuts and dried fruit (for students without food allergies)

A little something in the stomach can make a big difference! Especially during this time of year, when congestion, drainage, and seasonal illnesses are common, going all morning without eating may contribute to nausea or an upset stomach for some students. A simple, nutritious breakfast can help students start their day feeling better and ready to learn.

Let's help our Braves start each morning fueled, focused, and ready to succeed! ❤️🖤

Students of the Month

Each month, students are nominated by teachers and staff members who see them living out our BRAVES values and demonstrating our Character Trait of the Month. For October, that trait was Kindness. These students have been nominated by our teachers and staff for demonstrating kindness through their words, actions, and the way they treat those around them. Whether it's showing compassion, offering encouragement, including others, or simply choosing to do the right thing, small acts of kindness make a BIG difference! ❤️ Help us congratulate our October Braves of the Month! We are proud of each of you for representing what it means to be a BRAVE!

Congratulations to our Elementary Student of the Month: Cayden Thurman; our Junior High Student of the Month: McKenlie Ake; and our High School Student of the Month: Gwen Bramblett! 🎉

Your actions and character make a positive difference in our school community, and we are so proud to celebrate you! Keep leading by example, Braves! ⭐

Staff of the Month

Our staff members make a difference every day, not only through the work they do, but through the kindness, compassion, and encouragement they show to our students, coworkers, and school community. A kind word, a helping hand, and a willingness to go the extra mile can make all the difference!

Please join us in congratulating our October Staff Member of the Month: Mrs. Lorta! Thank you for being a wonderful example of what it means to be a BRAVE and for helping make Three Way ISD a special place to learn and work. ❤️
