Dear Truckers,
A new month at TruckerNation brings on a new semester, and a new opportunity to take advantage of all that is available for you to succeed. The staff at Churchland Middle are busy making plans to make the second semester even better than the first, but as I said in our PBIS video this past week, in order to win, we have to show up. I want you to focus this semester on all you can do to be able to win. These things include:
● Showing up to every class, every day.● Asking for extra help when you don’t understand during office hours after
school.● Trying your best on every assignment. Your best is always good enough.● Engaging in the lessons and committing to getting something out of each class
you attend. When we are focused, there isn’t anything that is impossible. See you soon!Mr. Paul Wilson, II, M.Ed., M.S.Principal, Churchland Middle SchoolA Fully Accredited Portsmouth Public SchoolChMS: My GPS For Success!

Attention 7th grade students and parents: We will be meeting with 7th grade students through their Math classes, from February 2nd through 12th to ask them to complete their schedule request surveys for 8th grade. These forms can be accessed through the Naviance career development program, which they can access through their clever portal. If parents have questions about the survey or course selection options for next year, you can contact your child's school counselor.

Including Protein in your diet is very important.
If you get less than 30 minutes per day of moderate physical activity, beyond normal daily activities, 12 and 13 year old boys and girls need 5 oz. of protein/day. For 14 year olds, girls still need 5 oz., but boys need 6 ½ oz. (if you are more physically active, you may need a bit more)
Protein is contained in meat, poultry, seafood, and other foods. As you are making decisions about your eating habits, you may make the choice to not include meat in your diet. There are a variety of food choices available that will allow you to get the protein you need.
some alternatives to meat: eggs, split peas, peanuts, black beans, white beans, pecans, black-eyed peas, bean burgers, pistachios, chickpeas, falafel, pumpkin seeds, kidney beans, tempeh, sesame seeds, lentils, tofu, sunflower seed, lima beans, almonds, walnuts, navy beans, cashews, peanut butter, pinto beans, hazelnuts, nut butters, soy beans, mixed nuts.
Here are a few ideas for simple ways to add these choices into your diet:
· Add meat alternatives to chili, soups or pasta sauce
· Be creative with beans: try a new recipe; cook soups with beans, lentils or split peas
· Spread Hummus on crackers or on bread inside a sandwich
· Eat eggs any time of the day: cut up a hardboiled egg for a snack; egg salad or a fried egg and cheese sandwich
· Put tofu or crushed nuts into milk shakes and fruit smoothies
· Mix nuts or seeds into yogurt; make trail mix made with nuts and seeds Choosemyplate.gov

Attention All 8th GradersAs of Oct 30th, the City-Wide Athletic Director along with the District Directors, decided that we will not have Fall and Winter athletics for the Middle School.
As it has always been, 8th graders are allowed to participate in High School sports that have a JV team. Due to our circumstances, we are passing the word for our 8th graders, if they wish to go and participate. We are still hoping that we play Spring sports and even football in the Spring. In order to participate in athletics and the high school, you will first have to have a physical on file. Attached you will also find other paperwork that you will need prior to attending.
I am also attaching a list of the coaches’ names and emails if you have any questions.Girls Basketball: Coach Kevin – [email protected] Basketball: Coach Mike – [email protected]: Coach Leonard – [email protected] Volleyball: Coach Anita – [email protected] Volleyball: Coach Freeman – [email protected]
Track and Wrestling do not have a JV, but you are still able to condition. Cheer will meet up in the spring.Football is practicing now, email Coach Leonard for time and place.
If you have any questions, please contact me: [email protected] youCoach RudolphCHMS Athletic Director
