Miami Trace cares about its Panthers! This is shown through the continuous support of our community partners, stakeholders, families, and volunteers. We are thrilled to announce that January 3, 2023, Miami Trace Local Schools will be offering a Panther Care Pantry in each school building. Pantry items available to students upon request and include personal hygiene products, clothing, and food. Although the pantry will not be officially "open" until January 3rd, we are happy to provide any item that a student may need between now and then.

The colder months at MTES bring about a large number of lost and found items. Students are encouraged on a daily basis to take their coats, hats, gloves, lunch boxes, and other items as they leave the playground and cafeteria. However, many of these items are left behind. We have a large collection, and will be looking to start fresh after the new year. We will be offering an afternoon for families to come and locate lost items. In the meantime, please encourage your children to check the stage each day for items. We are also asking that families write their child's name on any tags or lunch boxes to assist in getting items back to the owner.

• Lost and Found Item Pickup: December 20 from 2:15 -4:00
