Cubs Newsletter

Our Cubs raised $1,587.48 for the West Side Food Pantry. Thank you to all of you that helped - we appreciate you!

I'm happy to announce that we have two new staff members here at MMS. Adele Speelmon is our new Attendance Secretary. She has been with us for a couple of days and says she has enjoyed the fast pace, "never-a-dull-moment" environment of our middle school office! She is going to fit right in. 😀 We also have a new activities supervisor, Matthew Leituala. Some of you might know that Mr. Leituala served as a volunteer football coach for us this year, and he has already been busy managing basketball games, and even stepped in as an emergency referee for our 6th grade games on Friday. He already knows a lot of our kids, and I'm excited to have him on our team.

We will be doing a lot of training with both of these new staff members once we get back from Thanksgiving Break. Thank you so much for your patience with us as we have navigated these changes.

As part of registration for the new school year, parents had the option to allow their student to take the Idaho Youth Well-Being Survey. Those students that have permission will take the survey on December 16th during their PE classes.

I could smell something burning, so I followed my nose and found some of our World Cultures students cooking up some yummy food in room 106. (Nothing burned except some spills onto the stovetop 😁). It was great to hear about what they were cooking, what they were learning, and to see them having a good time. Students in the World Cultures classes are also busy planning events to benefit some great causes around the world. Great work Cubs!

We have a lot going on at MMS, and the three weeks between Thanksgiving Break and Winter Break are jam packed!! Our Outdoor Rec class is taking a field trip to the NRS building, we have guest speakers coming to our Manufacturing and Production class, Boys Basketball, Cheer, and Girl's Wrestling are all busy, we have two music concerts coming up, a monthly fire drill, the 7th grade will see a live production at the Kenworthy, and our students will have a "spirit week" with dress-up days the week before break. I'll do my best to keep you all in the loop! It is a fun, but busy time of year.
