These steps must be completed BEFORE they are allowed to practice or try out.

Spelling bee season is right around the corner. The first qualifying rounds take place in ELA classes in November. Students, you can begin studying now with the word lists posted to your ELA teacher's Canvas page.

Have you heard? This Wednesday, October 7, before school, MT will get a special canine visitor. Her role is to cheer us on as our school Covers the Rover. That's right, we have a giant, dog-shaped cutout that will go on the wall of the commons, and the challenge is to cover it completely with dollar bills. All funds collected will go to Kansas Specialty Dog Service, which trains assistance dogs for individuals and facilities. Jordy, our visitor, is a graduate of the Washington, Kansas program and a working dog in our district. Let's have some fun and raise money for an important cause!

📚Thank you to all those who supported the MTMS Book Fair last week!

We were able to raise just over $1000 for new Scholastic Books for our library thanks to the purchases from our amazing families!

Our MT Book Club is underway, and we are reading up a storm. Currently reading “Sleepless” by Gordan Korman, the kids split into groups to read and book talk. We make predictions and add to a running list of questions while we read.

Thanks to those parents who donated snacks for parent/teacher conferences last week, as well as those who have supported our fundraiser, which covered the cost of a pizza/salad dinner catered by The Other Place during conferences.

Haven’t had a chance to donate to the PTA yet? It’s not too late! We have many more activities to come this year that will support our teachers and our students alike, and your giving will support these activities. The suggested donation amount is $50-$100 per student, but any amount is appreciated!! To donate, scan the QR code below, or click on this MT PTA Donation Link.
