"Every problem is an opportunity in disguise." 

You've been hearing about LIMBS for a while now: that great program where you buy 3 pair of terrific socks for $12 and at the same time help someone in need get a prosthetic leg. Well today is the LAST DAY to make that purchase and change someone's life! Come to Room 27 at lunch and be a hero for LIMBS.

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. 

Basketball sign-ups start next Monday, October 31, at lunch in Ms. Palmer's PE room 85.  Sign-ups are Monday-Thursday, and you must sign up to try out.

The Cabaret is coming...If you are interested in acting, singing, dancing, set design, costumes, or stage crew, mark your calendars for next Tuesday, November 1.  Find out about this year's show at lunch in the multimedia room on Tuesday and what you need to do to participate! 

Lots of Halloween Information...

Interested in Trick or Treating for UNICEF? Pick up a donation box at the library and bring it back after the big night!

Guess what MVMS, Halloween is coming up fast
So get ready because it's going to be a blast
Our costume contest is going to be the same this year
So everybody shout and give a big cheer
The categories are group, elegant, scary, most creative, look-alike and funny
Dress up as a princess, a monster, Mr. Nelson or a bunny
The winners of the contest will receive awesome prizes
Anybody could win because epic costumes come in all different shapes and sizes
You will be nominated first period of the day, so get ready because this Halloween is going to be cray
If you have any questions, look for a poster on the wall
Or give any member of the Student Council a call     

As a reminder, students are not permitted to wear clown costumes, costumes must be school appropriate, masks may not be worn in class, and accessories need to be appropriate as well. 

What's up MVMS? Student Council has some exciting news for you.

After Halloween, you'll have piles of candy, and what should you do?

You can't eat them all because that would be bad. 

You can't stash them all because mom will be mad.

What does one do with a problem like this one?

We have an idea that is generous and fun.

Donate your candy and new toothbrushes to the US military, 

so that everybody can have a Halloween that is happy and merry.

Bring your candy and new toothbrushes to Mr. Doyle or Ms. Thebaut by November 7

so this Halloween everyone can have a bit of candy heaven.

 

Students, at this time all cell phones and electronics need to be turned off and in your backpack.
