Written Announcements:

CMS, SLG is doing another fundraiser. We will be during Race around the gym. It will last from April 27th to May 11th. Your goal is to be the winning grade to make your shoe on the gym wall go all the way around. Every 2 dollars your grade collects the shoe will move forward. Everyday you will collect money for your grade and a representative will go around to pick it up in your homeroom during SSR. The winners will receive a fun homeroom hour! The goal is to collect $750. That means $250 each grade so the moss mobile can come on field day. Hopefully the Iowas assessment winners would receive a free small snowcone and you can bring your money too. Lets reach the goal and happy collecting.

All 8th grade,  we need pictures!  If you have any pictures capturing events of this school year of you and your friends please email them to Sierra Long or Janine Arnold.  We are creating a slide show for 8th grade recognition. Please give us 5 -10 pictures max.  We want to get as many students from the 8th grade represented in the slide show. Deadline is May 8th.

Please check your lunch accounts because starting May 1st until the end of the year you will no longer be able to charge your lunch. If you don’t have any money in your account or money with you, you will not be able to eat lunch or breakfast. You may still deposit money into your lunch account.
