Just a reminder that tomorrow we will be having field day. Please bring an extra set of clothes to change and a towel, apply sunscreen before coming, and money if you'd like to buy an ice cream from Real Whirled Ice Cream Co. Schedule will vary depending on weather but we will proceed with field day.
Band concert and awards day will be on Friday at 8:15 in gymnasium. We will also be handing out report cards then.
Good morning. Unfortunately due to weather, students won't be traveling today for the trip. However, we plan to continue our plans at MMS and hope you'll still participate if eligible. Bring your item to tie dye and money for the ice cream truck. Go Copperheads and congratulations on earning the end of the year reward!
Hello families,
This is a reminder that students attending the PBIS field trip tomorrow should come prepared for a fun day. Please have your child bring an extra change of clothes and a towel, as there may be activities where they could get wet.
Students should also bring a plain white T-shirt or another light-colored item they would like to tie-dye during the trip.
Also, if students would like to buy an ice cream from the Real Whirled Ice Cream Co - they will be coming to either Stillwell or to MMS, depending on weather. I would suggest no more than $10, depending on what your student would like to purchase.
Please note that if the weather does not cooperate, we have an alternate indoor plan in place so students will still be able to enjoy the day.
We look forward to a great trip! Thank you for your support, and we’ll see everyone tomorrow. Have a wonderful evening.
