SPORTS PARTICIPATION:
If you daughter has not plugged into a sport please encourage her to go out for tennis, track, or both! With the new year starting we wanted to remind you about our MISD Athletic Policy. If you daughter has not participated in Cross Country, Volleyball, or Basketball she will need to try out for tennis or track. If she does not make the tennis team she will need to participate daily in track. Please see the Athletic Code of Conduct below:
AA. MIDDLE SCHOOL- ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT
*We encourage each athlete to try all sports offered in the middle school program.
*Sports offered are: Cross Country Running, Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, and Track.
*PARTICIPATION POLICIES: If enrolling in athletics, student athletes must participate in at least one sport each year. Failure to participate in at least one sport during the 7th grade will result in a semester grade of 50% and removal from Athletics during the 8th grade year. Failure to participate in at least one sport during 8th grade will lower the semester grade to a 50% mark. If the student athletes remove themselves from athletics, they will not be allowed to return the rest of their 7th grade year and their entire 8th grade year.
Other Information: . Please remind them to get enough rest, drink WATER, and eat good!
Character word of the week: Empathy
Empathy is the ability to share and understand the emotions of others. This week our picture of the week is: The Talking Stick. The Indians would use the talking stick when they sat around the circle in a group to visit. When the person was talking they would hold the stick and when they were done they would pass the stick to the next person to answer or reply to their conversation. The stick was used to make sure they were completely listening to the conversation(back & forth). WOW, that would be tough sometimes in my household(sit back and wait)! Sometimes we already have an agenda or our mind is elsewhere when someone is talking to us and do not take the time to truly listen to their conversation. As we look at the talking stick and empathy we have to work on our listening skills daily as an athlete and a leader.
Before we can lead, we must listen. Leaders seek to understand the perspectives of others before they communicate their own points. They show empathy and ask good questions as a result, they earn the right to be heard.
Chinese proverb: To listen well, is as powerful a means of influence as to talk well, and is as essential to all true conversation.

SPORTS PARTICIPATION:
If you daughter has not plugged into a sport please encourage her to go out for tennis, track, or both! With the new year starting we wanted to remind you about our MISD Athletic Policy. If you daughter has not participated in Cross Country, Volleyball, or Basketball she will need to try out for tennis or track. If she does not make the tennis team she will need to participate daily in track. Please see the Athletic Code of Conduct below:
AA. MIDDLE SCHOOL- ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT
*We encourage each athlete to try all sports offered in the middle school program.
*Sports offered are: Cross Country Running, Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, and Track.
*PARTICIPATION POLICIES: If enrolling in athletics, student athletes must participate in at least one sport each year. Failure to participate in at least one sport during the 7th grade will result in a semester grade of 50% and removal from Athletics during the 8th grade year. Failure to participate in at least one sport during 8th grade will lower the semester grade to a 50% mark. If the student athletes remove themselves from athletics, they will not be allowed to return the rest of their 7th grade year and their entire 8th grade year.
Other Information: . Please remind them to get enough rest, drink WATER, and eat good!
Character word of the week: Empathy
Empathy is the ability to share and understand the emotions of others. This week our picture of the week is: The Talking Stick. The Indians would use the talking stick when they sat around the circle in a group to visit. When the person was talking they would hold the stick and when they were done they would pass the stick to the next person to answer or reply to their conversation. The stick was used to make sure they were completely listening to the conversation(back & forth). WOW, that would be tough sometimes in my household(sit back and wait)! Sometimes we already have an agenda or our mind is elsewhere when someone is talking to us and do not take the time to truly listen to their conversation. As we look at the talking stick and empathy we have to work on our listening skills daily as an athlete and a leader.
Before we can lead, we must listen. Leaders seek to understand the perspectives of others before they communicate their own points. They show empathy and ask good questions as a result, they earn the right to be heard.
Chinese proverb: To listen well, is as powerful a means of influence as to talk well, and is as essential to all true conversation.

Character word of the week: Humility
Humility is magnetic in a leader. When we “under-speak” with regard to our value, others are drawn toward us and our influence increases. When we “over-speak,” others are repelled. When it comes to self-description, leaders know people will fill what is lacking and empty what is too full. Things we discusses in class with the girls: What disable you from serving others anonymously? Why is service attractive?

Character word of the week: Service
This week our word is service. Service is trying to meet someone needs or work for someone without expecting something in return. I feel today we sometimes forget that. As we go to different places around town we look at the people that wait on us or serve us. We know when we have an great server and one that does a half way job. I know when someone works really hard and meets our needs we like to reward that person. Our picture this week is the “Waldorf Principle”. A simple clerk did this to Mr. Waldorf, and the rich tycoon returned to make that clerk his first hotel manager in New York. People expect good service from leaders. They are surprised when we serve sacrificially.

Character word of the week: Initiative
This week we talked about being a host and guest. Leaders take the initiative in relationships. They are intentional about them. They see themselves as hosts, not guests, and go out of their way to connect with people and provide for them. Things to talk about: Why is hosting so powerful? How can it enable people to be at their best?

If you daughter has not plugged into a sport please encourage her to go out for tennis, track, or both!
With the new year starting we wanted to remind you about our MISD Athletic Policy.

Character word of the week: Challenges/Integrity (reference picture-pop quiz)
We are growing our future leaders every day at home and at school. Leaders experience tests as they mature. These tests range from motive checks, to authority tests, to integrity checks. They reveal the leaders potential and maturity, and are a pathway to progress. We experience tests at each stage of growth. Our goal should always be to pass the tests we are presented in life. Testing always precedes promotion. Self-promotion can’t replace authentic promotion. Just as a product is never used until it is tested, so it is with us.
These are the objectives that will be covered in this lesson. We want to encourage our students to welcome life’s tests as friends not enemies. Those tests reveal what we are made of and what we are capable of becoming. To equip students to respond well to the tests and grow from them.

We hope you had a wonderful two week break with your family and friends! We totally enjoyed our time off too! We are looking forward to an AWESOME spring! Basketball is half way through their season and tennis/track are just around the corner. If you daughter has not plugged into a sport please encourage her to go out for tennis, track, or both!
With the new year starting we wanted to remind you about our MISD Athletic Policy. If you daughter has not participated in Cross Country, Volleyball, or Basketball she will need to try out for tennis or track. If she does not make the tennis team she will need to participate daily in track. Please see the Athletic Code of Conduct below:
AA. MIDDLE SCHOOL- ATHLETIC CODE OF CONDUCT
*We encourage each athlete to try all sports offered in the middle school program.
*Sports offered are: Cross Country Running, Football, Volleyball, Basketball, Tennis, and Track.
*PARTICIPATION POLICIES: If enrolling in athletics, student athletes must participate in at least one sport each year. Failure to participate in at least one sport during the 7th grade will result in a semester grade of 50% and removal from Athletics during the 8th grade year. Failure to participate in at least one sport during 8th grade will lower the semester grade to a 50% mark. If the student athletes remove themselves from athletics, they will not be allowed to return the rest of their 7th grade year and their entire 8th grade year.

8th Grade: In Thursday night’s match up, the Lionettes took on Evans Middle School. In the first game of the night, the Blue team just fell short of the victory with a 12-14 loss. Kailin Perry stood out as a lead player for the night with 2 points, 2 assists, 2 blocks, 6 rebounds, and 7 steals. Another aggressive player for the Blue team was Alanna Copado, who consistently attacked the basket. She ended the night with 2 points, 1 rebound, and multiple steals.

Kyra Jones played great defense with 1 block and 1 rebound. Riley Thomason also had an impressive defensive game with 2 rebounds and 2 steals for the Lionettes. White team, we enjoy watching your effort and energy on and off the court. Keep working hard!
The Lionettes will face Cockrill Middle School next Thursday at Boyd High School. Good luck to all three teams!
Character word of the week: Challenges/Integrity (reference picture-pop quiz)
We are growing our future leaders every day at home and at school. Leaders experience tests as they mature. These tests range from motive checks, to authority tests, to integrity checks. They reveal the leaders potential and maturity, and are a pathway to progress. We experience tests at each stage of growth. Our goal should always be to pass the tests we are presented in life. Testing always precedes promotion. Self-promotion can’t replace authentic promotion. Just as a product is never used until it is tested, so it is with us.
These are the objectives that will be covered in this lesson. We want to encourage our students to welcome life’s tests as friends not enemies. Those tests reveal what we are made of and what we are capable of becoming. To equip students to respond well to the tests and grow from them.

Character word of the week: Decision Making
Our picture this week is from the Medieval times and it references The Pyrrhic Victory- a victory or goal achieved at too great a cost.
Sometimes the cost of winning is so great that we lose more than we gain. Good leaders don’t fight every battle. They carefully consider what’s at stake in each encounter with others and then act accordingly. They never allow the situation to become more important than the relationship.

Character word of the week: Drugs and Alcohol
Drugs/Substance Abuse: Just say NO - you’ll thank us later! In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby teach you about drug abuse. Learn what drugs are, how doctors treat people with prescription drugs, and how these drugs can be abused. You’ll also find out about dangerous drugs like marijuana and heroin that are actually made to be abused, and how they change the way your body operates. Discover how stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, and opiates can mess with your body and even cause addiction. Lastly, Tim examines the reasons people choose to do drugs and all the reasons why you should definitely choose hugs instead!
Alcohol: Curious about drinking and what it will do to you? In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby will teach you what alcohol is and why drinking it can be really dangerous. Find out what kind of drug alcohol is and how it affects your body. You’ll also discover why drinking too much alcohol can mess with your senses and what long-term damage it can cause. Remember, if you booze, you lose!

Dear Parents and Guardians:
WOW, the school year is flying by! We all our excited that we have a week off and look forward to: rest, family, shopping, and good food! We hope everyone comes back refreshed and ready to go!
Happy Thanksgiving! I read this online and thought I would share about Thanksgiving: Each year on the fourth Thursday in November, Americans gather for a day of feasting, football and family. While today’s Thanksgiving celebrations would likely be unrecognizable to attendees of the original 1621 harvest meal, it continues to be a day for Americans to come together around the table—albeit with some updates to pilgrim’s menu.
Basketball:
What a great turn out for tryouts in basketball! We are so proud of everyone that tried out and worked hard this week! Players will receive a letter on Friday, November 17th communicating whether or not the student athlete made the team. These letters will be handed out after school, and students athletes will be asked not to open them until they get home.
If you daughter did not make the team and would like and opportunity to develop her skills and game play I have attached a flyer for these two programs: M1Sports or PSA McKinney. Please contact them for more information.

Character word of the week: Responsibility
This week our picture to reflect on is drivers and passengers in a car. When life goes bad, people tend to blame someone else for the problem. They act like passengers. Leaders realize they are drivers and are responsible for their attitudes and destination in life.
Our objectives this week are:
[if !supportLists]1. [endif]We want to help our athletes to see that moving from a follower to a leader means moving from being passive to being proactive, moving from irresponsibility to responsibility.
[if !supportLists]2. [endif]To help students stop making excuses for failure and begin assuming responsibility for their actions and the consequences.
[if !supportLists]3. [endif]To equip students to build a leadership perspective when it comes to attitude, determination and flexibility to reaching their goal.

Dear Parents and Guardians:
I cannot believe it is November already! The weather has been teasing us one day it is cold and then it is hot again. HAPPY FALL!
The girls have been working hard each week in the weight room, court, and on the track! With volleyball season coming to a close this weekend, Good LUCK 7th and 8th Grade Gold teams at the PSA District Tourney.
As we look forward to the next season, basketball will begin very soon! If you daughter is interested in trying out the coaches handed out a tryout contract this week. They have to have turned it in prior to tryouts. Tryouts: Nov. 13th -17th .
Please remember to visit with your daughter with cooler weather coming please bring warm-ups to wear outside. When the weather changes we always see an increase of the girls getting sick. Please remind them to get enough rest and eat good!
Character word of the week: Compassion
If someone shows kindness, caring, and a willingness to help others, they're showing compassion.
This is a word for a very positive emotion that has to do with being thoughtful and decent. Giving to a charity takes compassion. Volunteering to work with sick people or animals takes compassion. When you have compassion, you're putting yourself in someone else's shoes and really feeling for them. Anytime a disaster like a hurricane or earthquake hits, others will feel compassion for the victims. When you feel compassion for someone, you really want to help out.

Character: October 20, 2017
Congratulations on great season Cross Country! WAY TO COMPETE DMS!
Please remember to visit with your daughter with cooler weather coming please bring warm-ups to wear outside. When the weather changes we always see an increase of the girls getting sick. Please remind them to get enough rest and eat good!
Character word of the week: Character
Definition: the combination of traits and qualities distinguishing the individual nature of a person or thing. 2. one such distinguishing quality; characteristic. 3. moral force; integrity: a man of character.
Carnivals often have mirrors that distort how we really look. Poor leaders do this, pretending or posing to be better than they really are. Our character is the true reflection of who we are.
Objectives for this week’s lesson: 1. To expose the reality that most people want to make a good impression so much that they are willing to distort or exaggerate the truth in order to do so. 2. To convince students that a false reputation is not rewarding, and, in fact, lies will eventually come back to haunt you. 3. To help students see that integrity is more important than image. 4. To teach students how to embrace who they are and be honest about themselves.

Character word of the week: Character
Definition: the combination of traits and qualities distinguishing the individual nature of a person or thing. 2. one such distinguishing quality; characteristic. 3. moral force; integrity: a man of character.
Carnivals often have mirrors that distort how we really look. Poor leaders do this, pretending or posing to be better than they really are. Our character is the true reflection of who we are.
Objectives for this week’s lesson: 1. To expose the reality that most people want to make a good impression so much that they are willing to distort or exaggerate the truth in order to do so. 2. To convince students that a false reputation is not rewarding, and, in fact, lies will eventually come back to haunt you. 3. To help students see that integrity is more important than image. 4. To teach students how to embrace who they are and be honest about themselves.

Character word of the week: Self-Motivation
Definition: initiative to undertake or continue a task or activity without another’s prodding or supervision
This week we are talking about self-motivation and looking at the Starving Baker illustration. As I look at this week’s lesson it hits home as a leader and being self-motivated with different areas in my own life. Sometimes leaders fall into the trap of giving, working, and teaching others so much that they neglect their own internal health and growth. As we grow and mature into leaders we have to remember to take care of our self also. We are like the starving baker who spends so much time baking bread for others, we forget to eat ourselves. Leaders must feed themselves for personal growth. We want to encourage our athletes to be self-motivated to create a plan for personal growth each year and strive to achieve the goals she sets for now and the future.
Cross Country at Cockrill 10/10/17
The weather has been so great for running! The 7th grade girls came in 4th place, and the 8th grade girls, 7th grade boys and 8th grade boys all came in 1st place. Runners of the week were Alyssa Austin, Peyton Green, Allison Fortman, Ethan Marr and Parker Kemp.

Hard Work and Discipline: September 29, 2017
Character word of the week: Hard Work and Discipline
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard!
Discipline: To train or develop by instruction and exercise especially in self-control.
Leaders are often gifted! They can begin to depend on their gift for success, to the neglect of their character. They begin to “wing it”. Leaders sabotage themselves when their gift is bigger than they are.
Reflect: How much do you lean on your gifts rather than your character to keep you on course?

We are so excited for to start the school year and continue to BUILD on the STRONG TRADITION of being a DOWELL LIONETTE! We have survived the first week and look forward to this school year! We are starting a new character curriculum this school year and we will be talking about the art of self-leadership skills. Every Friday we will introduce a new word of the week and talk about it every day the following week. Our word of the week is: INTEGRITY! Looking at the picture below of an iceberg it represents your leadership. The 10% above the water is your skill(externally). The 90% below the water is your character(internally). It's what's below the surface that sinks the ship! When we look at the 90% below the water we want to try and reflect on these four ingredients of character: self discipline, core values, sense of identity, and emotional security. We want the girls to reflect and respond about these questions this week: Why is focusing on the "inside" so difficult for us today and Why do we put so much emphasis on the "outside" of our lives?
