Blue Day - Tutoring
Happy Birthday Tryce Slykhuis!!!!
There will be a MS Student Council meeting at 2:20 today.
Mr. Kroeger will not be here this morning.  No lessons – unless the sign is removed from his door.
A rep from SDSU will be here about 11:45 to meet with any interested junior or senior.
Girls are at Sanborn Central and Boys at Woonsocket today.
Don’t forget to wear red tomorrow as December is the month of caring at Sanborn Central.
We will be doing eligibility, MS Updates, and Homework Club on Thursday.  Get your assignments in – if you need help with your parent portal – contact Mary!

The FFA Fruit has arrived!!!  Butter Braids and popcorn will be here Thursday, December 4th.  Many of the students are waiting to deliver once everything arrives.
The Junior Class will have 3 main Prom fundraisers taking place during basketball season.  Contact Tracy Moody for more information:
1. Auction of the 2 front row parking spots.  Bids should be sent to Tracy Moody at tracy.moody@k12.sd.us.  The 2 highest bids at 3:00 THIS FRIDAY will have front row parking for all home games starting with the jamboree this weekend!
       2.  We will be doing the basketball board again for all home varsity games.  You can buy a spot on the board for $20.  Scores will be checked at half-time of each home varsity girls and boys game. $30 will be given to the winner each time.  We have 7 home games and you need not be present to win.  The first 25 people to contact Tracy Moody at tracy.moody@k12.sd.us will have spots on the board!!  The board is uploaded to our Google Drive.
        3.  A new idea this year, we will have The Super Sofa!!  You can purchase a ticket to sit on the sofa with up to 3 friends for a single home game.  2 names will be drawn for double headers.  Each ticket is $5, you may purchase as many as you would like.  This should be great fun for elementary through adults!  Your ticket will stay in the bucket the entire year unless it is drawn!!  Contact any junior, Tracy Moody tracy.moody@k12.sd.us  or Mary Ackman at mary.ackman@k12.sd.us  to purchase a ticket.
