Hello, Middle School Students and Families! Below is this week’s MS Meeting recap.

Sascha Ip ’30 and Micah Gross ’30 ran today’s meeting. You can check out the slides from this week’s meeting here.


THE BVR STUDENT

Samir Kasrawi ’30 presented: Listens with thoughtful attention.

What this means to me in class is thoroughly listening to the teacher and directions. That means you are doing your best to fully understand what the teacher is asking of you and that you are meeting their expectations.

With friends and classmates, to me, it means respecting what people are saying and where they are coming from. If you are being thoughtful when you listen, you can also add your ideas to theirs.
