Does anyone out there like lollipops?  Yes, lollipop sales are back.  Listen up, because this is your first chance this year to hear about the sale of lollipops to help raise funds for the WEB program.  Our first lollipop sale will be today at lunch in the outside area behind the library between the Earth and Sun pods.  It won’t be the last sale, though, so if you don’t have the $1.00 for a lollipop today, start saving up for the next one - coming soon.

Time to pick up your pig!  Turn in your tickets TODAY during lunch in the 7th/8th grade lunch area.  Top Panther Time classrooms so far are:  Iyer, Nicholson, Fischer, Eagle, Schostak, Lisker.  For individual sales results, check the boards up in the pod areas.

Tomorrow, Wednesday October 7, is International Walk and Roll to School Day.  Student Council will be handing out treats in the front of the school for all students who walk, bike, scooter, or skateboard to school.  This is the largest day of action at Mill Valley Middle School, in Marin County, and in the world.  Remember, if you live too far, get dropped off so you can walk part way. So everyone, join in and let’s make a difference by “going green” to school tomorrow.
