Hey, Owl Families! Just a friendly reminder that we have two days off from school this week!
Wednesday, November 11 – Veterans Day
No school as we take time to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our country. We are grateful for their service and sacrifice! ❤️🤍💙
📚 Friday, November 13 – Professional Development Day
No school for students as our staff spends the day learning, collaborating, and growing to better support our Owls!
🦉 School will be in session on Thursday, November 12!
Enjoy your days off, Owls! 💚🤍

🦉 OWLS with GRIT Spotlight: Bryson McCartney!
This morning's Student Choice Breakfast was picked by Bryson McCartney, and we couldn't think of a more deserving student!
🌮 Bryson's breakfast choice was an Egg, Sausage, and Cheese Breakfast Taco! A delicious way to start the school day!
Every morning, Bryson arrives at school early and takes it upon himself to help put napkins on the cafeteria tables. Nobody asks him to do it, and he doesn't receive anything in return. He simply sees something that needs to be done and does it. 💚
Bryson is a wonderful example of what it means to be an OWL with GRIT!
🦉 Ownership – Taking responsibility without being asked.
🤍 Willingness – Showing up each morning ready to lend a hand.
🦉 Leadership – Leading by example through small acts of kindness.
💚 Success – Making a positive difference through consistency and dedication.
Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest impact! We are so proud of Bryson for showing us that leadership isn't about recognition or rewards. It's about doing the right thing simply because it's the right thing to do.
Way to go, Bryson! Thank you for making MMK a better place, one napkin at a time! 🦉🤍💚

We have another wonderful group of Owls to celebrate at Mary M. Knight! 🦉💙
This week, our students are showing us that challenges are opportunities to keep learning, growing, and finding new ways forward. Some are pushing through difficult assignments, building new skills, and bouncing back after setbacks. Others are stepping up as quiet leaders, working together, encouraging their classmates, and showing kindness in ways that make a big difference. No matter the challenge, these students are demonstrating that GRIT is about being willing to try, keep going, and support one another along the way!
👏 Congratulations to Remi, Leona, Dominic, Holden, Matthew, Marissa, Emmett, Avery, James, Destiny, Rylee, Lilly, Lexi, Luna, Tristen, Jackson, Colton, Akari, and Grace!
We are proud of the determination, positive attitudes, and kindness you bring to our school community. Keep embracing those challenges, Owls! 💪🦉✨

We’re a little late sharing last week’s GRIT highlights, but these Owls are still worth celebrating! 🦉💙
From taking ownership of their learning and finding ways to keep improving, to stepping up as leaders, working through challenges, and creating something positive for others, our students continue to show us what GRIT looks like in action. Whether it’s catching an assessment error, helping a new friend navigate classroom expectations, patiently trying again, or working together to teach others the power of their words, these students are making a difference!
👏 Congratulations to Gabe, Annabelle, Rosalynn, Joe, Meika, and Paislee!
We’re proud of the effort, growth, kindness, and initiative you continue to bring to Mary M. Knight. Keep showing your GRIT, Owls! 💪🦉✨
