Tuesday, November 8, 2016 Day 1
The past couple of years the PTA have asked students to sell Yankee Candle items in order to raise money. This year we have decided to do a 'No Frills' fundraiser. Many of you may be familiar with this idea. Instead of asking families to buy and sell items, we are looking for families to simply make a donation. Please click here for the details. As with any fundraiser, we thank you very much for your support!
Picture Retake Day is Monday, November 14th. Students can bring in their photo packet and give it to the photographer for a retake. Or a package can be ordered online by going to Lifetouch.com
The Fall Sports Season is over. Please help your student-athlete to return all uniforms.
Basketball season begins today, here is the practice schedule:
2:30-3:45 7th Boys
3:45-5 7th Girls
5-6:15 8th Girls
6:15-7:30 8th Boys
Other winter sports such as Swimming and Indoor Track will begin in February.
Homework Club runs from 2:30-3:30 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Homework club is an opportunity for students to stay after school to get help from staff members. Each day there are 2 adult to supervise and support students. Please note that only students who plan on using this time productively are welcome.
Would you like to set up a lunch account for your student? Does your student need more money on his/her account? Head to myschoolbucks.com to take care of this!
Student Morning Announcements:
During the month of November the Mahoney Library is inviting students to participate in the Reading Without Walls challenge! Challenge yourself to read books outside your comfort zone, such as: a book about a character who doesn’t look or live like you, a book about a topic you don’t know much about, or a book in a format you don’t normally read.
Students who read one book in all three categories will receive a certificate, a free book, and be invited to a special event in the library in December.
Students, the cafeteria is open for breakfast everyday until 7:50. Please know that only those that are eating breakfast should be in the cafeteria at this time.
The chill in the air inside is an indication that cold weather is here. Please remember that you are expected to stay outside until the 7:35 bell rings. Be sure to dress warmly or plan to arrive after 7:35.
Drama Club will have auditions Wednesday in the auditorium.
STEAM:
Ms. Milton and Mrs. Raymond are forming a team to build windmills to enter into the 2nd annual KidWind competition!

Stop by Mrs. Raymond’s room for an informational meeting on Wednesday right after school. There are only 20 spots available!
