Happy Friday MT Family! With another Chiefs win possibly on the horizon and more potential snow next week, we want to make sure you all know how to receive school cancellation and delay notices.

• Parent/Guardians should automatically receive email notification from Skyward in the event of cancellations/delays.
• You can also sign up for text alerts here.
• Alerts will also pop up on any district website if there is a delay/cancellation and are posted to district social media.
• Or, there's always the old-fashioned way, TV and/or radio!

Next week could be an interesting one between a possible Chiefs win, snow, and parent/teacher conferences, so stay tuned!

We've had a great response so far of individuals interested in presenting at Career Day, March 14th. We need about 10 more presenters, so please invite any family/friends you think would like to share with our students! We're especially looking for more arts-based careers! Sign up is here, and we will be in touch soon with more information once details are finalized.

It's Candy Gram time! Beginning Tuesday, StuCo will sell Candy Grams during lunch for fifty cents apiece. Buy some for your friends, your teachers, and yourself! Be sure to know 9th hour classes as delivery will take place during WIN.

Thank you for the support we received over the last week. We could still use a little help in the Rewards Store! Priority requests are Cheez-its and Gatorade. Thank you for supporting our students as they work hard through the spring semester!

Winter Parent Teacher Conferences:
This year's winter parent/teacher conferences are just around the corner! The PTA will provide snacks for the staff on Wednesday, February 12, and a soup & salad meal on Thursday, February 13. Thursday's soup & salad meal will be catered by Nick & Jake's (at a greatly discounted rate, so thank you to N&J for supporting MT)! And a special thanks to those who have Venmo'd donations in the past, as the leftover Venmo donations are helping to provide this meal!
We could still use some help with empty crockpots for the soup. Use this signup genius if you have one we can borrow. Thank you for supporting our teachers & staff.
