Our Teachers vs. Students Dodgeball Tournament is back again this year at MPJH! This is presented by the Counseling Office, and all proceeds will help support some of our very own Eagle Families.

There will be an entry fee of $20 per student. If you would like to participate in the Dodgeball Tournament, you can sign up by clicking the Link that's in your Canvas ANNOUNCEMENTS (or button below) from the counselors by November 13, 2026. On November 16th, we will randomly select 40 lucky winners to participate, and they will have 2 days once they are notified to pay their entry fee. If the fee is not paid in time, a different student will be selected to take their place. We anticipate having many interested students.

Fear NOT…if you don’t want to play or don’t get selected to play, students will be able to purchase a ticket to watch the tournament for only $2 (cash only). Tickets will be sold during lunches the week of the big event. We can’t wait to see you all there!

DATES: November 16-20, 2026

LOCATION: MPJH Library

FAMILY FUN NIGHT: Tuesday, November 17th from 6-8PM

This is a great opportunity to build your child’s home library with new books that will get them excited about reading, while also earning funds for our school.

Our book fair is CASHLESS! Students can use credit cards, but the easiest way to let your child shop the Fair independently is by creating a Book Fair eWallet through our school homepage. It’s easy to set up and easy for family and friends to add funds.

With eWallet, you’ll also have the chance to contribute to Share the Fair™—the giving program that supports students at our school who need help buying books. Consider participating so that no child leaves the Fair empty-handed!

Preview the books coming to the Fair by taking a 360° virtual tour via our school’s Book Fair homepage and explore the titles, watch video book trailers, and more.

We can’t wait to see you at the Fair and help every student discover a book they’ll love! Happy reading!

🥧📚 WHO'S READY TO PIE THE PRINCIPAL & APS?! 📚🥧 Things are about to get a little MESSY at MPJH! 💙🦅 Our Book Fair is bringing more than just great books this year! Students will have the chance to win an opportunity to PIE our Principal and Assistant Principal in the FACE! 🤣 (We are even getting a few additional friendly staff members involved)

🎟️ Here's how to enter: Every Book Fair purchase of $5 or more earns a raffle ticket! Students will also have additional opportunities to earn tickets throughout the week!

🌟 BONUS TICKET ALERT! Join us for Family Fun Night on Tuesday, November 17th, from 6:00–7:00 PM! Families who make purchases during the event will receive BONUS raffle tickets! 📅 Raffle ends Friday, November 20th!

🥧 The lucky winners will get to deliver the pies when we return from Thanksgiving Break! Buy a book. Earn a ticket. PIE AN ADMIN! 🦅💙 Let's make this Book Fair one to remember!

Save the date for INTERNATIONAL DAY, a fully parent-run activity, on Friday, February 5th! All 6th graders participate during Social Studies to explore the world. Please help share your country's heritage/experience with our students as they come and explore the world! Country trifold posters will be provided, unless you'd like to create your own! Come for a short while or stay the whole time! We hope you'll join this fun, educational event. ❤️ Breakfast and lunch for volunteers provided by PTSA.
