Happy New Year! I hope everyone had an amazing holiday break filled with rest, relaxation, vacations, food, and loved ones! The start of a new year brings some important changes to our Middle School.
Important Changes - Please Note
- As of 1/3/2023, the bell schedule will be changing for students. Please save the new schedule as sent by Mr. Samuelson.
- An updated club schedule with specific dates for the month is on the MS website and it is live. All changes to club meeting dates will be made on this and will be current. Mr. Samuelson will also attach the schedule in his updates.
Be sure to regularly check the Middle School website for daily announcements, the calendar, along with the PTA website and social media to keep up on what is happening around our schools.
MS Events
Our Chorus concert on 12/1, Band Concert on 12/13 and Orchestra Concert on 12/19 at the High School truly showcased how talented our students are! Thank you to the High School for hosting us for these events.
Our 6th Grade Game Night is scheduled for 1/6/2023 in just a couple of days and we are so excited for our families to experience this fun event. We thank all of our sponsors in town for donating the prizes for our winners, as well as our 6th grade parents who have generously volunteered to donate.
