*Announcements:

* All library books are due on Monday, December 12th which is today. Please check your locker, bookbag, and at home.  We are not allowing library book check outs this year over the Christmas Break.  If you have lost your book, I will send home a Lost Library Book slip to your parent or guardian.   Not until you pay for your lost book, will you be able to check out again. Again, all library books are due today.   The library will be closed for checkout this week.

* Tennis try-outs for 7th and 8th grade boys and girls will be this Wednesday, December 13 and this Thursday December 14 at the city courts right after school until 5pm.  See Coach Jett with questions.  You must have a note to ride a bus to get off at MES to attend try-outs unless you are a car rider.

* Friday we will be having a Christmas Dance during school from 9am-11am.  The cost will be $5.00.  Students not attending the dance will remain in classrooms.  Door prizes will be drawn for all those who attend.  Prizes include Snack Baskets and Coupon Books that contain free tardy to class passes, no dress out for PE etc. The dance will be a sock hop as no shoes will be allowed on the gym floor.

*Friday is the last day of the 9 weeks.  Make sure all of your make up work is turned in this week.   COTS will be held on Friday.  There will be early dismissal on Friday at 12:47pm.

*7th and 8th grade Scholar’s Bowl will meet today after school.

*There is a basketball game today at West Blocton.

*Congratulations to the students of the week:  Janie Gray and Ella Alexander.  They were nominated by Mrs. Colley and Ms. Fenn. Mrs. Colley states that “as 4th period library aides, these ladies handle a high volume of student check outs every day with a smile.  They both frequently suggest good books and series to read to other students.  Ella and Janie are genuinely kind hearted and work diligently! I’m very proud of them both.  Ms. Fenn is thankful to both girls for helping to set up and organize Scholar’s Bowl practices.”

 

Have a Marvelous Monday
