Let’s Talk About the Power of a "Messy" Idea.
November is National Novel Writing Month, and around E.F. Rittmueller Middle School, we’re using it as an excuse to talk about something incredibly important for middle schoolers: the art of a creative mindset.
A creative mindset means giving yourself permission to write a messy, imperfect first draft just to see where your brain takes you. It builds resilience, problem-solving, and a deeper confidence in your own voice.
Research shows that creative writing actually lights up the brain’s reward pathways. When you invent characters, map out a plot, or solve a story problem, your brain releases a healthy splash of dopamine. It’s a natural mood and motivation booster that helps build long-term mental resilience. In short: writing doesn't just make you smarter; it actually makes you happier.
Let’s protect space for our Eagles to think deeply, imagine wildly, and trust their own ideas this month.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. The Frankenmuth School District wants to help promote kindness, acceptance and inclusion. We are dedicated to making a safe, inclusive and collaborative environment.
We also want to encourage all parents and caretakers of our students to foster open dialogue with your children regarding empathy, digital citizenship, and knowing when to speak up.
