    Friday after school we will put all of the lost and found items out in the front of the school for parents to look through. Items that are not collected will be donated to charity.

    Also on Friday from 3:30 to 5:30, our ASB is hosting their Winter Wonderland Party complete with a DJ and hot chocolate bar. They are pre-selling tickets all week during lunch until they sell out. Tickets cost $10 and include a piece of pizza, water, and candy.

    Finally, we are still taking donations for our Holiday Food Drive and donations will be accepted through December 4th. We are also looking for gifts and gift cards for families in need. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Brooks in the Main Office.

Donations will be accepted through December 4th. We have also adopted four families and need your help by sponsoring a family member and purchasing a gift or gift card for them. If you are interested, please contact Mrs. Brooks in the Main Office.

    Finally, if your child has a doctor or dentist appointment, please provide a note from the doctor or dentist to excuse their absence, as this is the district’s policy.

    From our main office, if you need to pick up your child early from school, please send a note with your child to the main office in the morning so that we can provide them with a pass and avoid class interruptions.  The note should indicate the reason, the date, the time, and who is picking up the student.

    Finally, we are pleased to announce that on last year’s state tests, Muir had more students with perfect scores than any other school in the district.

    Thank you and have a great week.
