"Man lives more by affirmation than by bread."

Attention all 8th grade students! The deadline for turning in your end of year permission slips for the dance and Stinson field trip has passed!  Return all paperwork to your Panther Time teacher today!

Hey, MVMS, everyone shout horray
Because coming up fast is Sports Day!
Represent your favorite team with a shirt or a hat

Or jacket or socks, or this or that!
Next Thursday is April 28
So come in your sports gear and participate!

Represent your team, college, or pros,
And twin with all of your teammates and bros.
At the end of the day, go to your panther time class,

Dressed in your gear, get there fast,
And you'll get a piece of candy at last!

Remember, this is next Thursday, the 28^th  and it is sure to be great! 

Today is the last day to get all your cool and cozy stuff from lost and found. Be a hero at home. Show up with that long lost jacket, lunch box or water bottle. Remember to go to the lost and found. Tomorrow everything will be gone forever.

Tomorrow is national Be the One Day sponsored by the Beyond Differences Club. We are asking you to take a pledge to help end bullying. Come to the front of the gym at lunch where you can walk through a balloon arch and fill out a post it note making your individual pledge of how you're going to be the one and help be a part of the solution as opposed to part of the problem. Some ideas you could pledge to do are to plan to sit with someone new at lunch, say some kind words to someone or stand up to someone who's being unkind to someone else. Someone once said, “We’re all mere threads, but what a tapestry we make.” 

Seventh Graders Who Might, Just Might Be WEB Leaders.  This is your sixth announcement about the "Hey, Maybe I’ll Apply to be a WEB Leader" Information Meeting tomorrow.  By now you should have the idea. Find out what it’s like to be a WEB Leader Monday in the Multi-Media room at lunch. As a prize we’ll have free, yes, free application forms.  All 7th graders are welcome!  Don’t be shy, just come on by.

Sixth Graders.  You’ve been listening to all the announcements for seventh graders about being WEB Leaders, but did you know that there’s also a chance for you to be involved in the WEB program next year?  You can become a member of what’s known as the A-TEAM.  This responsible, organized, and awesome crew helps make the WEB program work, and they also help run the lollipop sales, too.  If you want to find out more, come to a lunchtime meeting a week from tomorrow in the Multi-Media Room.
