Coffee with the Principal
The first “Coffee with the Principal” session took place on Thursday, November 30th from 9:30 am – 10:30 am at Stout Middle School’s Team Meeting Room in H-Hall. The meeting was supposed to discuss the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and the Annual Title 1. However, Mr. Oke had only time to explain the School Improvement Plan (SIP) amid valuable input from the parents. Restorative Practices took the lion’s share of the conversation as bus behavior. Mr Lambdin, Mrs. Furkioti, and Mr. Sabra took part in the discussions. There will be another coffee morning in January (date and time to be announced later.)
Mr. Oke and Stout Middle School, would like to thank all who took time of their schedules to participate in the discussion, and would like to see them again, along with more parents.
Volunteers Needed!

The Mystery of the Whistling Building
In the fall of 2012, the government of New York City began receiving unusual complaints from the residents of a small strip of land in the borough of Staten Island. People who lived around a section of Father Capodanno Boulevard, in the South Beach neighborhood, claimed that, when the wind was up, they could hear a noise that sounded something like whistling. Where the sound came from was a big mystery. The noise had never been around before, but it had suddenly appeared and was often very loud. When the wind was blowing especially hard at night, some residents even had difficulty sleeping. Continue Reading…

Two Winners rather than One!
In the last week or so, the Students’ Corner had many really good quotes and it was difficult to choose just one. Here are some of these quotes:
- “If you focus on the results, you will never change, but if you focus on the change you will get results!” by Mohamad Alyasiry.
- “Don’t be sad that it ended. Be happy that it happened!” by Malak Baydoun. Hala Mallah Ali Alhadheri
- “People are like music. Friends have meaning and others are just noise!” by Hala Mallah.
- “It is easier to do a job than to explain why you didn’t!” by Haidar Almawla.
- “Life has no remote; Get up and change it yourself!” by Ali Alhadheri.
It was difficult to choose just one winner. Instead, I decided to have two quotes rather than just one. So congratulations to Hala Mallah and Ali Alhadheri. Please let Mr. Sabra know your preference of Za’atar, Cheese, Spinach, or Meat pie.
Kids, keep sending these great quotes. We love them.
Students’ Corner
Yusra Shawish had this powerful quote, a quote that stresses the power of words and how hurtful or helpful they could be.
“I may forget what you said, but I will never forget how you made me feel!”
Sometimes we say things that we think are just words. However, words might cut deep and leave a scar that’s not visible to others, but very damaging to the person who carries it. They could also lift someone’s spirit high and encourage them to achieve their dreams. So why not use positive words?
