Menomonie Middle School Announcements
Trick or Can: Get ready for a spooky season of giving! We are thrilled to announce the return of a wonderful middle school tradition: the "Trick or Can" food drive, sponsored by your Menomonie DECA chapter!
This is our chance to come together and make a huge difference for families in our community. All of the non-perishable food items we collect will be donated to Stepping Stones of Dunn County, a fantastic local organization that supports our neighbors in need.
Collection boxes will be delivered to each classroom, so you can start bringing in your donations right away.
And to add a little friendly competition, the classroom that collects the most items will win a delicious donut party!
DECA students will come around to collect all the donations at the end of the day on Thursday, October 30th. So let's fill those boxes and show our incredible community spirit. Let the canning… I mean, the haunting… begin!
Yearbook: There will be a yearbook meeting today right after school in Mrs. Forster’s room.
Science Olympiad: Our first Science Olympiad meeting will be on October 30th in Ms. Scott’s room after school. If you haven’t filled out the digital sign up, please do so before this meeting. See Coach Zuber, Scott or Graf with questions or to get the sign up.
Wounded Warrior Project: As Veterans Day approaches, we are taking part in Honor Their Courage, a Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) initiative to raise awareness and funds that provide life-changing programs for wounded warriors and their families. Our goal is to raise $250 this year. Wounded Warrior Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to honor and empower injured veterans. Since its founding in 2003, WWP has been transforming the lives of America’s injured veterans and their families through programs and services in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, along with advocacy efforts, improving the lives of millions of warriors and their families. If you would like to donate toward our fundraising goal, visit the following link to make a contribution. Also, we’d like to invite you to attend our Veterans Day program at the middle school. It will take place on November 11 at 10 AM in the school gym. Thank you!
