The Lady Bulldog Volleyball team competed against Pittsburg and Roosevelt Middle School (Cville) in Coffeyville. 7th grade went 1-1 and 8th grade went 0-2. Coach Marchant was happy with how hard they competed and now the girls have a better understanding of what they need to work on. Back to practice tomorrow before they play at home on September 6th! #TheBulldogWay

Each week that athletics are going on, we will name an Athlete of the Week. The coaches nominate the athletes and there will be a female and male athlete named to this distinction each week. The male athlete will be posted on Monday. The awards will be presented at practice, in front of their peers!
The first female athlete of the week is Morgan McLenon. She was nominated by both her coaches for her leadership, her effort and her amazing attitude towards her teammates, especially the girls that are new to tennis. When told of this award, it was incredible the cheers that her teammates gave her. Great job Morgan!! #TheBulldogWay
Coach Marchant and her staff have been working hard on building a positive culture and sense of family for the Independence Middle School volleyball team. She continued with that work tonight as she took the Lady Bulldog volleyball team to watch and cheer on the Independence High School Volleyball team for their beginning of the year scrimmage! Good Luck to Coach Speicher and her ladies this season. This not only helped Coach Marchant educate some of the newer players on the game, but also a great chance to give them a chance to see where they will be in a year or two! #TheBulldogWay
Thankful for our community! Thanks to Mossy Oaks Properties for providing Ane Mae's tea to our teachers! It was a great way to start out day and the teachers and staff sure did enjoy the delicious beverages! Thank you!!!

Independence, we are asking for your help! We know that everyone is in a rush to get to work, home or wherever your destination is, but we want to keep our students safe. Please slow down on 10th street before and after school. We are rolling this sign out, but this is going to have to be a team effort. There are multiple crosswalks on the 10th street side that are used and we could use your help to keep our students safe. Thank you for your help with this matter! #TheBulldogWay
We have over 100 Fall athletes and we are striving every day to get better, so we are ready when it's time to compete. We will compete hard in the classroom and on the court/field.

Thank you!! #TheBulldogWay

Learning the #BulldogWay in Mrs. Spears-Greens classroom. Students brain stormed in groups to create posters on one of the four areas on the Bulldog Way chart. The students presented their poster to the class and taught them about each area. Great job to Mrs. Spears-Green and her students. It's the #BulldogWay
TOMORROW IS THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!! We are excited about it. We wanted to let you know of a couple things to make the start of the day easier and less anxiety provoking for our students. Our campus opens at 730 am, which means that students can get breakfast starting at this time. Students will wait on the south side of the building, on the concrete if the weather permits. If it rains or weather doesn't work out, students will wait in the gym. The doors will open at 7:52 am and students will report to advisory. Students should not go to their lockers, they should report straight to Advisory class. During Advisory, their teachers will go over procedure, help with lockers, answer questions about schedules and start to build relationships with their students. The first day is the only day that we will start in Advisory. Get some rest and we will see you bright and early. Again, we are so excited, so parents/guardians, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask, by calling us at 620-332-1836. #TheBulldogWay
Thank you Ryan Vaughn of Greenbush for coming and providing professional development to our teacher's on classroom management. #BulldogWay
