“Your success and happiness lie in you.”

Photo Follow-up Day has been rescheduled to November 14th. Students and who have not yet had their photos taken yet will be called to the office throughout the morning. If you want a re-take, you must make an appointment online at www.mugsyclicks.com before November 14^th. Students with scheduled re-takes will also be called to the office throughout the morning.

Students! Are you missing a jacket, lunchbox or water bottle? How about some PE clothes or a pencil box? Make a trip to the Lost & Found and see if it’s in there before everything is donated at the end of the trimester. PARENTS- Seriously, there are so many expensive articles of clothing, lunch boxes and water bottles here. If you haven’t seen that hoodie on your kid lately, you might want to accompany them to the Lost & Found and take a look for it!

Show your Panther Pride and get ready to race! Bring your sold raffle tickets to the tables at lunch and pick up your very own Bacon Bits, Panther Kitty or Top Dog in time to put batteries in so you can race this Thursday and Friday. Race winners will qualify for the Grand Prix races, more candy and cool prizes next week! Will you be one of the top sellers who will have a ‘once in a middle school lifetime’ chance to throw a pie at Mr. Nelson???? You won’t have this chance in high school!! Don’t wait, get out there and sell!!

Attention all students: On Wednesday, October 25^th, MVMS will be conducting our annual Disaster Drill.

You are expected to be well behaved, responsible participants and follow all instructions given by your teachers.
