Tower Building Exercise Brings Students Together

Two pieces of cardstock, two pieces of construction paper, limited numbers of paper clips and popsicle sticks, a measured amount of painter tape and a ruler were all the supplies teams were given. Even though the supplies seemed meager for a tower building task, middle school 7th grade students quickly learned the real challenge was finding different ways to work together.
Fourteen of the new teachers at TK Schools gather for training before the first day of school.

A message from Middle School Principal Kelli Arnold-Wegner

Thornapple Kellogg Middle School
Welcome to Thornapple Kellogg Middle School!
Our middle school has grades 6, 7 and 8 and is filled with enthusiasm for learning and positive behaviors. Each grade level has a separate wing for core subjects with a common wing for our numerous exploratory classes such as choir, band, art, Spanish and 21st Century Skills. Our staff strives to ensure academic, physical, social and emotional growth and development for all students in a secure, creative and challenging environment. We work to develop positive self-images for all students so they can become responsible, lifelong learners. Our staff uses the PBIS program to help students develop core values for themselves and others and we teach and reward students for positive behavior. 
We are glad you're here! We welcome volunteer parent and community involvement so please stop in to see us soon!
