“Where Every Child Counts”
‘Tis the Season to be Respectful and Thankful!
“When you practice gracefulness, there is a sense of respect towards others .”
-Dalai Lama
Being respectful will make your middle schooler’s relationships better
at school and at home. Here are ways they can show respect for him/
herself, other people, and the world around them.
Respecting Oneself
Tweens with self-respect are more likely to stick to their values and
say no to risky behaviors. Teach your child to check in with them-
selves before he/she makes a final decision. Say a friend invites them
to a party where parents won’t be home. They could think about what
might go on there and say, “Thanks, but that’s not for me.”
Respecting Others
Explain that showing respect will make it easier for your tween to get
along with adults and peers and help him/her earn their respect, too.
They can do that by treating people as they wish to be treated. For in-
stance, he/she should eat snacks in the kitchen at a friend’s house if
that’s the family’s policy (even if they eat in the living room at your
house). Also, they'll respect classmates by doing what he/she says
they will, such as completing his part of a project they are doing with
a partner.
Respecting the Environment
Encourage your middle grader to adopt the motto, “Leave a place bet-
ter than you found it.” To put that into practice, he/she might throw
away trash that they see in the neighborhood or at a park. Conserving
resources is another way to respect nature. They can turn lights off
when he/she leaves a room and shut water off while brushing his/her
teeth. –Middle Years
If you really want to show your respect to your friends and relatives then say THANKS to them on Thanksgiving!!

The “Finer” Things
All 8th grade students will take the PSAT/8 assessment Wednesday, November 6th. The test will begin at 8:15 a.m. and should be completed by 11:15 a.m. Students who arrive late will not be allowed to test. The PSAT/8 is the first test in the SAT Suite of Assessments and is a pressure-free
way for students to start exploring their path to college and a future career. It helps them:
1. Recognize strengths. A personalized online PSAT 8/9 score report will include detailed information about your child’s strengths and areas for
growth. It helps students lean into areas they’re good at and identify places where they need to improve to be ready for college.
2. Explore future careers. Students can explore college majors and careers that align with their personal interests with Roadmap to Careers, a unique online tool created by Roadtrip Nation and the College Board. The tool connects students to potential careers based on the things they love,
showing where they can lead.
3. Choose high school courses. Knowing where they excel and what skills they should work on can help them choose other 9th- and 10th- grade classes. In addition, student score reports will suggest AP® courses that are a great match for them. AP can give your child an edge in the admis-
sion process and allows them to earn college credit while in high school, which could save time and money in college.
Students can access free, personalized PSAT/8 practice test and scoring guide anytime, anywhere at
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/psat-8-9-practice-test-1.pdf
https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/pdf/psat-8-9-practice-test-1-scoring-guide.pdf
Parents, please ensure your student arrives at school on time Wednesday, as they are not allowed to start the test late. As always, a good night’s rest and healthy breakfast may assist your student in maximizing his/her performance. If you have any questions or need any guidance please contact Mrs. Haney at
tdhaney@mabankisd.net or call the school at 903-880-1670.
On Nov. 21st MJH will
walk to the HS in the
morning to watch the
delightfully offbeat adap-
tation of the classic Roald
Dahl adventure, the crea-
tive possibilities with
James and the
Giant Peach are endless.

the outlandish characters
and performing brand
new material from one of
Broadway's hottest duos.
Admission will be a
$1.00 per student.
There are 5 junior high kids IN THE
SHOW!!! Our very own!!! So this will be
a phenomenal opportunity for parents
& students to see our kids soar!

Cooperation
People that are cooperative
are good listeners, helpful,
friendly, caring, respectful to
others, fair, and patient. You
can teach cooperation at
home by allowing your child
to help you complete a task
(i.e. making dinner, going
grocery shopping, raking the
leaves, etc.) Modeling
cooperation by participat-
ing in a charity project (i.e.
community cleanup day,
donating to a food drive,
collecting funds for an
organization, etc.) Remem-
ber, cooperation is working
together to complete a task.
Cooperation is listening to
others. Cooperation is
helping your friends and
family. Cooperation is
interacting together nicely.
Worth Quoting: “It’s not what we say about our blessings but
how we use them, is the true measure of our Thanks-giving”
It is now time to order an 8th
grade Tribute ad in the 2020 edition of

selves or have our staff do it for you. For those interested the
