Crispell Middle School Daily Announcements

Good morning everyone, today is Thursday, December 11, 2025 and today is a cycle A Day.

PROPER USE OF SCHOOL RESTROOMS – Students are reminded that our school restrooms are 

shared facilities that should be treated with respect and care. Please remember the following expectations:

  • Use restrooms appropriately. Restrooms are intended for their designated purpose only.
  • Do not write on walls, stalls, or fixtures. Graffiti, vandalism, or any form of damage to school property is unacceptable and may result in disciplinary action.
  • Maintain cleanliness. Dispose of trash properly, flush toilets after use, and wash your hands before leaving.
  • Show respect for others. Keep restrooms a safe, clean, and comfortable space for everyone in our school community.

By following these guidelines, we demonstrate respect for our school, our peers, and ourselves. Thank you for helping maintain a positive and respectful environment.

DECEMBER CHARACTER TRAIT – Good morning! This week we’re focusing on Compassion. Compassion means noticing when someone is struggling and choosing to help. It’s about caring enough to take action. Maybe a classmate seems upset, or someone is sitting alone at lunch—compassion means checking in, offering support, or simply being there to listen. Let’s make our school a place where everyone feels cared for and valued.

LUNCHTIME BOOK CLUB – The 7th grade Lunchtime Book Club will meet today, December 11 in the library.  

HOLIDAY BOOK SWAP – The annual Library Holiday Book Swap has begun.  Bring in a book from home that you have read and enjoyed and swap it for a new one.  We will be collecting books for the first few weeks of December then it’s time to choose a new book to take home.  With parent permission, clean out those book shelves! 

ART CONTEST – Calling all artists, this year’s poster design theme is “Picture Your Future Through a Drug Free Lens”. Try your hand at winning a cash prize up to $200! See the flyers posted around the building.  Posters for the Drug and Alcohol Awareness Council aren’t due until January 19.  There is still time to try your hand at winning a cash prize!  Interested students should see Ms. Renart in room 129 for supplies and details.
