Red Ribbon Week Revision Reminder
Red Ribbon Week
Oct. 27th - 31st, 2014
Paine Intermediate
We are joining thousands of other schools across the USA in an effort to raise awareness about the dangers of using tobacco products, other drugs, and alcohol. Throughout the month, counselors will conduct drug awareness lessons for all classes according to the state counseling standards, and then dress up days during this week will help emphasize awareness too.. Daily themes for the week revolve around PI’s focus on student leadership; “The Leader in Me is Drug Free!”
*Please note: Since the Hewitt vs. Clay game was moved to Thursday, Oct. 30th, we are switching the last 2 dress up days.. In support of our HT Huskies, we will now wear our Husky Spirit clothing on Thursday, and then the bright, neon colored clothing on Friday. Thanks for your understanding!
Monday- Hats Off to Being Drug Free!
Students are encouraged to wear hats/caps to kick off the week and to help show their commitment to being a drug free leader.
Tuesday- Don’t Let Drugs Erase Your Dreams!
Students are encouraged to wear appropriate pajamas to school to remind them that drugs can erase their future hopes and dreams. Students must wear or bring tennis shoes for PE!
Wednesday- Leaders are “Red-y” to Say No to Drugs!
Students are encouraged to wear red colored clothing to show their support for Red Ribbon Week as it is “National Wear Red Day.” Remember, leaders stay drug free!
Thursday- These Paws Won’t Touch Drugs!
Students are encouraged to support our school team and wear their favorite Husky school spirit clothing to show that Paine Intermediate Husky Leaders will make smart choices and stay drug free. Go Huskies!
Friday- My Future is Bright so I’m Staying Drug Free!
All students are encouraged to wear bright, neon colored clothing as they commit to make good choices and be drug free for their future.

Projectors
The Technology Department has asked us to remind you to please turn off your projector when it is not in use. They are finding that leaving your projector on for extended periods of time while not in use is causing an error to occur in the projector that cannot be corrected.
Thanks for your help with this!

Stop 20th Century Thinking
Great article on why we need to change our teaching style to meet the needs of the students we have today.
Stop 20th Century Thinking
United Way Totals!
Just wanted to shout out a big “THANK YOU” to
everyone who donated to United Way this year. I know that times are still
tough and money is so tight for a lot of us, so we appreciate every cent that
was raised. We did a great job! We came so close to making what we
did last year. The last couple of days helped us to close that $600 gap that
we had been short. I knew we could do it! Here is the final
breakdown:
Paine
Primary- raised $2210 with 41 donors, (represented about 47% staff
participation)
Paine
Intermediate- raised $1529 with 19 donors, (represented about 25% staff
participation)
Grand total- Together, Paine Campus raised $3739, which was only
down $49 from last year, so way to finish strong!
I am so proud to work with fellow colleagues who are so generous
in helping others. That’s what it is all about! We could be in the
same boat one day, so thank you for sharing your blessings with those in need.
Until next year…. J

Quote for Today
“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another
person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give
each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal
and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.”

Surprise Donation
Paine Intermediate’s SRO, Chuck Bradford, surprised Special Education teacher, Auburn Lyle, with a donation of four hundred fifty dollars. The donation was given on behalf of the Hewitt-Trussville High School class of 1984 who celebrated their thirty-year reunion in August of this year. Officer Bradford is a member of the 1984 Hewitt-Trussville High School class.
Ms. Lyle states that she, "plans to use the funds to buy a canopy tent to use when we go to the Special Olympics and other outdoor activities. I also will purchase a book binding machine so I can make adapted books for my students to read! The money has truly been a blessing!"
Data Meeting 10-28-14
Good Afternoon everyone:
Attached you will find the schedule for data meeting on
Tuesday, October 28, 2014. All data meetings will be held during your planning
period. They are optional that day, and if you can’t make it, I have set up a
make-up date and time for Thursday, October 30. 2014 (7:00 a.m. or 3:30 p.m.).
We will have breakfast, lunch and desserts on Tuesday (dependent upon the time
of your meeting) on Tuesday.
This will be a great, structured time for you to analyze your
data with your grade level and switch partner. We will present the data in a
way that you haven’t seen just yet. Our wonderful Academic Coaches have
developed charts that are user friendly and will allow us to review the data in
a way that I strongly believe in and will be beneficial for instructional
planning. What we come away with on Tuesday will be a very useful academic
instructional guide for you to plan your teaching (and/or intervention) for the
remainder of the year. It won’t be anything “extra” to do, it will simply open
our eyes to areas in need of support; and think about a plan for the future. If
you have questions about your individual data that you presently have, we will
be happy to address those.
I will share with you all my goals and outcomes for the
meeting, things I’ve done in the past when analyzing data, and answer questions
as we progress through the meetings. Our time together on Tuesday will be
brief, so we’ve got to stay focused and work efficiently!
I am excited about our first data meeting together, and if
we find anything that needs to be adjusted or added, we will surely do that for
the next meeting!

"Silver" for Stars and Stripes
“Silver” for Stars and Stripes!
Show your Husky pride and help purchase an
American flag to fly at the new Hewitt Field!
To help show our patriotism and our Husky pride, we would
like to present the TCS Board with a large, U.S. flag to be flown for all athletic events at the
new Hewitt-Trussville High School stadium.
On Thursday and Friday of this week, we will
have a collection box for “silver” (nickels, dimes, or quarters). Students who wish to participate may simply
drop their coin into the box. With
almost 2000 students on our campus, a small amount will quickly add up, and we
should be able to purchase a big, beautiful flag to be flown at Hewitt Field in
the upcoming school year.
We want our students to feel involved in the
excitement surrounding the opening of the stadium on Friday, and contributing
toward a new flag is just a small way we can do that.
