Cafeteria Corner
Our Thanksgiving Meal will be served on November 20th! We will continue to offer the salad bar while supplies last. However, there will be no salad bar on Thursday. We will be offering a second hot entree once salad bar is done. Salad bar will resume after the Thanksgiving break.
Please make sure to check the Lost and Found if you are missing any items. All items will be donated that remain on November 25.
Three students will be randomly selected each week for a prize if they’ve completed their agendas all week. Students will be called to the office over the intercom at random times throughout the week. If your name is called, come to the office with your agenda. If your agenda has been completed all week, including with a goal written at the beginning of the week, you will receive a swag bag full of great prizes. Good luck!
Students, we’re excited to announce a brand-new way to reward positive behavior and punctuality! Starting this week, teachers will be handing out tickets to students who are caught showing great behavior in the hallways or making it to class on time. When you get a ticket, write your name on it and drop it in one of the white buckets located in your Science or Social Studies classrooms. Every Friday, we’ll draw three lucky winners from each grade level to receive a special prize! So stay positive, be on time, and you might just be one of our weekly winners! 🙌
MMS & MHS Cheer Operation Christmas Child: Please donate personal care items, toys, games, puzzles, school supplies, clothing, or accessories to help us fill shoeboxes for children in third world countries (no liquids, soaps, or food). The donation box will be located right outside the office. Thanks!
