Minor Middle H.O.P.E. Team | ALL IN
Our Minor Middle H.O.P.E. Team recently stepped into professional learning with one goal in mind; becoming even more intentional about how we serve our students, support one another, and strengthen our school community.
Through the ALL IN experience, our faculty and administrators explored the power of connection, communication, shared identity, intentional encouragement, and living out our core values.
The experience served as a powerful reminder that building a positive school culture begins within each of us. When we are intentional, connected, and committed, we create an environment where both students and staff know they are valued, supported, and needed.
At Minor Middle, we’re ALL IN for our students, our school, and our community!

🎲 Rolling Into Reading!
After spending the week reading Frank Stockton’s classic short story “The Lady, or the Tiger?”, students in Ms. Halterman’s 6th Grade ELA class put a fun spin on literary review!
Students rolled dice featuring literature based questions that sparked discussion, encouraged critical thinking, and helped them review the text in an engaging, hands-on way. This kinesthetic activity gave students an opportunity to talk about their reading, share their thinking, and strengthen their understanding of the story, all while having a little fun!
At Minor Middle, learning doesn’t always have to look the same!
