…and caught our Tigers enjoying a little quality time with a good book!
Some found a quiet corner. Some read alongside friends. Some discovered something new. And some just had to show off what they were reading!
At Minor Middle, reading doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. Whether it’s at a table, in a comfy chair, or alongside a friend, every page helps build stronger readers.
Now it’s YOUR turn! What are you reading right now? Drop a picture of your book in the comments! 👇

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!

We appreciate each student, educator, administrator, and employee who supported Hope for Autumn Foundation's Give Hope Day! It was incredibly moving to see our JEFCOED Family stand behind such a meaningful cause. 💛









Be sure to wear gold or yellow on Thursday, September 24, 2026, as we team up with the Hope for Autumn Foundation to raise awareness of childhood cancer and advocate for resources to support patient families.
Give Hope Day hits close to home for many families in our district, and our hearts are with each of you who have a child who has battled cancer or is currently fighting. We stand with you during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and beyond. 💛
