Menomonie Middle School Announcements
Halloween: On Friday, October 31st, Student Council is hosting a dress up day. You will be allowed to wear your costumes, as long as it follows school rules and does not cause distractions in the classroom. Have fun and be creative with your costumes. No masks, no blood, no weapons. You can wear hats that are part of a costume. If any part of your costume becomes a distraction, the teachers have the power to take the distraction away.
Girls Tennis: Girls tennis players will leave class at 2:55pm today to take their typical tennis bus to the high school courts for family night. Coaches are so proud of all our tennis athletes. Every girl showed personal improvement, dedication, and excellent sportsmanship over the season. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of athletes.
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!
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.
Word of the Month: Empathy
Quote of the Week: Learning to stand in somebody else’s shoes, to see through their eyes, that’ how peace begins. And it’s up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.
