On Thursday, October 23, please join the MHS National Honor Society and Rotary International in the fight to eradicate polio in the wild. Wear purple, and for A $1 donation, get your pinkie painted puple. Your $1 donation pays for two child vaccinations in Pakistan or Afghanistan, the last two places on Earth with wild polio virus. Let's end polio in our lifetime!

The entire MHS community is invited to honor Maynard's veterans on October 17. Come at 6:00 PM for the Black Hawk Helicopter landing. Bring a food donation and get a discount on your ticket! All veterans will receive free admission, and a free meal from our Snack Shack!

Have you heard about Fri-yays at MHS? On Friday mornings, our students are greeted with music, hype, and a giant HIGH FIVE! On full-day Fridays, there is a WAVM DJ at lunch, playing the requests of students who are nominated by their teachers. We love Friday -- and we want our students to love school!

The mission of the Maynard Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is to work for the understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with special needs in the community.

Maynard SEPAC is looking forward to a great year! Please fill out this survey to help us plan our events!

As you read through our calendar, you may have noticed a new entry for "Tiger Days". This school year, the MHS faculty is piloting a special schedule once in every seven-day rotation. These days will be used for many purposes:

• Advisory (our regular Advisory that we know and love)
• Class Meetings
• Vision of the Graduate Portfolio
• Special Assemblies
• Extra Help/Study Hall

Rather than missing class time, we will now have a special time in place for these activities, and more. This is just a pilot, so be ready to give us feedback about whether it is working! Check your first day of school packet for Tiger Day plans and schedules.
