8th Grade Updates

It's that time of year! We have a bunch of fun events coming up to celebrate our 8th graders. Here are the details you need to know:

The event will include a delicious full dinner and dessert, a photo booth, a DJ and more!

• Permission slips: Students need a signed permission slip to purchase tickets. Permission slips can be picked up in the office.
• Tickets: $20, on sale now at lunchtime in the courtyard.
• Dress Code: Formal or semi-formal attire encouraged!
• Volunteers: We need chaperones, help decorating the MUR earlier in the day and help with food. Please sign up here to volunteer for the dance and help make this unforgettable for our kids!
• Note: Students must meet behavioral expectations to attend the dance. Ms. Rasheed will contact you if your student is not meeting behavioral expectations.

Buses depart from and return to Montera, and lunch is provided!

• Permission slips: Students need a signed permission slip to attend; they will be distributed in Advisory on Friday, May 1.
• Volunteers: We need chaperones, plates, drinks, coolers, snacks and side dishes. Please take a look at the picnic volunteer form and see where you can help - if you don't have time to spend the day in the park with us, there are still some super-easy options like donating plates, drinks and snacks.
• Donations: We're also accepting monetary donations to help purchase items if you don't have time to shop.
