⚡ Charge Into Fire Safety! ⚡
It’s Fire Prevention Week, and this year’s theme is all about safe charging! As technology plays a big role in our everyday lives, we are reminding our OneClay community that safe charging is a superpower.
🔌 Plug in. Power up. Stay safe.
To keep our homes and schools safe, make sure you are using your 6 Charging Superpowers:
• Cheap charger? Don't chance it. Use the cord and charger that came with your device or one approved by the manufacturer.
• Soft surface? Hard pass. Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or bare floor.
• Fully charged? Time to unplug. Unplug your device when it is fully charged.
• For tools and rides, charge outside. Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible, and never block exits when charging.
• Feels hot? Stop using it. Stop using your device if it feels very hot, starts to swell, smells strange, leaks, smokes, or makes popping or hissing sounds.
• On a flight? Keep it in sight. Keep devices where you can see them while charging on an airplane, and tell a flight attendant if you notice a problem.

We took a little blast from the past today with some good old-fashioned DEAR Time!
For all you young folks out there, DEAR stands for Drop Everything And Read! Yes, this was a real thing, and we are bringing it BACK!
Our Mustangs dropped everything, grabbed a book, and spent some time doing what we love most—READING!
#best30minoftheday #ahhtobeyoung #dismustangs #DEARtime #weshoulddothis #everyweek! #ifonly










Our Mustangs took advantage of the extra time to curl up with a good book… outside! Because apparently, when you only have half a day of school, reading in the sunshine is the correct answer.
And it got even better! We had Book Buddies between our 4th and 2nd graders! Big kids + little kids + books = one pretty awesome way to spend a Friday!

WE HAVE A GOLDEN TICKET WINNER!
We had a very special visitor in the Media Center today who found a SUPER RARE Golden Ticket hidden inside one of our library books. And when we say rare… we mean so RARE that I completely forgot I had even hidden them in the books!
Our lucky winner got to pick out a book AND a poster as his prizes - talk about a pretty golden day in the library!
Congratulations to our Golden Ticket winner! Keep reading, friends… you never know what you might find hiding in a library book!

Because this measure is a renewal of the existing operating millage, it continues current funding without increasing tax rates. Revenues are strictly dedicated to two operational priorities:
School Safety: Funding law enforcement contracts for campus officers.
Employee Compensation: Providing competitive pay to retain and attract quality teachers and support staff.
All expenditures are subject to review by an independent Citizens’ Oversight Committee. Visit oneclay.net/renewal for more information.
