Middle School Month Volleyball: Attention Middle School Students!
Next week Monday we will start our after school Volleyball intramurals tournament. This will be a way for your grade to earn Middle School Month points in pursuit of the Panther cup.
The Volleyball intramural schedule will replace normal intramurals for the week of March 4th - March 7th.
Monday March 4th will be grade 5 co-ed Volleyball intramurals, Tuesday will be for 6th grade, Wednesday for 7th grade, and Thursday will be for 8th graders. This event will be co-ed. Stay after school on the date your grade is assigned and create a 6 person volleyball team with at least 2 boys or 2 girls.
The winning grade level team will play an ALL grade championship after school on Monday March 11th with the winning grade level earning 100 points toward the Panther Cup. 2nd place will earn 50 points and 3rd place will earn 10 points. Monday the 11th will also serve as the qualifying round to find out what teams will play the teacher on our Panther day 3/22. Good luck and hope to see you after school!
Panther Cup Search: Today will be our 1st panther cup search day. There will be multiple Panther Cup cards hidden throughout the school. Students may search for these on the way to classes. With the permission of your supervising teacher you may also search During LETs and study hall, but this will be for deserving Panthers that the supervising adult wishes to extend this privilege too. Students may find only 1 cup each and should turn it in to Mr. Heitzenrater or Ms. Long to earn 10 Middle school month points each for your grade. Have fun and remember, no one should be late to class, and this should not cut into any instructional time. So, keep your eyes peeled for some panther cup points!
Panther Gear Spirit Day: This Friday, March 1st, kick off Middle School Month in your favorite PANTHER gear! Wear blue and white to show your school spirit. Members of Student Senate will visit each homeroom on Friday to count participants. The grade level with the highest percentage of students who dress up will earn 100 points toward the Panther Cup! Second place will earn 50 points, and third place will earn 10 points. Which grade level is in it to win it?
