RJK MIDDLE SCHOOL

We all have important work to do.

@MiddleRjk Our Be Kind motto with 2 of our 8th grade students! 😊

All communication is information! 🧐

“We are all the same” is often a sentiment of good intention. But we are not the same, our stories, experiences and consequently, our mindsets vary a great deal. Recognizing other’s stories and making space to validate every one of them is a the work of a school counselor.

A gentle reminder to listen to yourself.

A very Happy Mother’s Day to our first teachers upon entering this world. Their lessons have the longest lasting and most profound impacts.

Even remotely, Fridays are celebratory! We accomplished another weeks worth of work! We did it 😁

Has anyone else spent some time reprioritizing goals lately?

I appreciate all that you’re doing for our kiddos @MiddleRjk @WhyMontiRocks

And tacos. Let’s teach our students the facts about Cinco de Mayo so we can evolve from a place of understanding. To avoid cultural appropriation, there must be room for Mexican culture to assign significance rather than American culture doing so.

Let us not forget the real reason Mexico celebrates May 5, it is not their Independence Day. Rather, it is when a small group of outnumbered soldiers were victorious against impending invasion of French troops. Cultural appropriation tends to make this day about fake mustaches

Hey Colleagues - thanks for all yuou do! Here's a short shout out to teachers around the world: #TeacherAppreciationWeek @SolutionTree @STreeJeffJones .

A big thank you to all the teachers at RJK who are doing amazing things despite these challenges we face daily! images.app.goo.gl/YF6o7h3jbYoGqE…

Not a huge fan of change but I am working on embracing it for the sake of harnessing optimism and never giving up. I’d rather grow to embrace change than be blind to the stuck-ness #burnbrightnotout

If a teacher is absent we call a sub. If the principal is absent no one cares. If the secretary is absent we need to shut down the school! Happy #administrativeprofessionalsday! Thanks for being difference makers every day!

Our third installment of Catching up with the Counselors is all about relaxing and making time to feel good. Check it out and let us know what you think! monticelloschools.net/robert-kaiser-…

What an amazing way to incorporate positivity into your day and also give back to the heroes of the Covid pandemic! Amazing!

I am thankful for the way @MiddleRjk teachers and staff keep rising to the occasion. 😊#pantherpride #GreatDayToBeAPanther @GuidanceRjk
