Good Morning,
🎒💙 A huge THANK YOU to Five Below – Airport Blvd and General Manager Lucas Gimlin for the generous donation of backpacks for our King Middle School students!

🐾 King Middle School PBIS Update 🐾
At King Middle, we love to encourage and celebrate our Cougars for following our R.O.A.R.S. Rules: Respect, On Task, Attitude, Responsibility, and Self-Control.
✨ Every Friday, we hold a special drawing where 5 students (one from each grade level) are chosen to sit in our new Cougar Café booths! Not only do they get this exclusive opportunity, but each winner can invite up to 5 friends to join them. The excitement on Fridays is contagious—our students love hearing those names called!
🍔 Join us tonight for our first PBIS Spirit Night at the Milton Sonic from 5–7 PM! Be on the lookout for more of these fun nights throughout the year. Funds raised through Spirit Nights go directly back into our PBIS program to help us continue celebrating our Cougars for their hard work.
🎉 And in just a few short days, we’ll be holding our first quarterly PBIS drawing! Students who have not received a referral this 9 weeks will be entered for a chance to win either a TV or a tablet.
We are so proud of our Cougars and cherish every opportunity to celebrate their success. 💙 If you’d like to support our PBIS efforts, please reach out to the school—we’d be happy to share ways you can get involved!
