It is Monday morning as we write this post. The weather outside is full of rain and clouds, but the mood around the Middle School is bright as the Steelers defeated the Ravens last night and we are now officially into the holiday season with only three school weeks to go until winter break.
The Devil's Den school store has had a tremendous grand opening over the past two weeks. The first week the store was open, it was slammed with so many customers that it could have been mistaken for a discount retailer on Black Friday. Business has been so steady that we have already had to place a second order for items that have sold out. The store is open every Friday during our Middle School lunch period.
Our Box Tops for Education collection has also seen a tremendous response up to this point in the school year. In Round 1, our teachers and students collected 7,264 box tops. As a rough estimate, the school should be receiving around $720 as a result. The top three classes from Round 1 have enjoyed being dismissed to the lunch line first for the past month as a reward. So far in Round 2, our classes atop the leaderboard are: 1) Ms. Getz 2) Mr. Stephan 3) Mrs. Ball 4) Mrs. Urbassik and 5) Mrs. Petre. Round 2 will end on the last school day in December, and winners will go to lunch first during the month of January. Thank you for participating by cutting out and collecting box tops from products that you use on a regular basis. We appreciate the time you give to this.
Mid-term progress reports for marking period 2 will be sent home with your child on Monday, December 10, 2012. Please look for this when students come home that day.
