"A man's manners are a mirror in which he shows his portrait." 

Hello Problem-Solving Panthers:  Announcing the AMC8 Math Contest.  This is a national, 25-question, 40-minute middle school multiple choice written exam in math.  The top 3 students for each grade will receive Certificates for Outstanding Achievement.  Registration is open until tomorrow.  There is a $5 fee, and scholarships are available.  The contest will be Wednesday, November 16, during Panther Time.  Space is limited to the first 60 students who talk to Ms. Peets or Ms. Ferreira.

Do you need some new socks that will raise money to buy a prosthetic limb for someone who is in need?  Limbs is here - a non-profit organization that will raise awareness and money to buy limbs and change a person's life.  You can help by buying your own pack of (3) pairs of socks for $12.  They are stylish and comfortable and will help change a person's life.   

Hey 7th & 8th Graders, your DJ Georgia Smith will be taking requests for school appropriate songs to be played during lunch on Fridays and each morning. Any student may drop a suggestion in the marked box in the library.
