IMPORTANT MORGAN ANNOUNCEMENTS

WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 2013
7th Graders: Mr. McCloskey came to your classrooms recently to share information about this summer’s Tiger Academy. Have you signed up yet? This is a great opportunity to get to know more about your new home at the eighth grade campus, get and practice your schedule, choose your locker, meet some of the 8th grade staff, and much more! If you submit your application before June 12, you save $10, so get signed up today! See Mr. McCloskey if you have questions.
It looks like Mrs. Drinkwater’s class is racing ahead on the shoe drive, with a close second place tied between Mrs. Torrance-Smith’s and the Office. Come on, get those shoes in! Mrs. Drinkwater is the class to beat!
Just a reminder that we have a 4 day weekend coming up! We will be closed this Friday for a snow day that we didn’t have to take last winter and on Monday for Memorial Day. Let’s make it a great 4 day week!
Attention 7th graders: Remember that you must remain in good standing in order to be able to go on the 7th grade field trip in June. Keep working hard on your schoolwork and be on your best behavior at all times.
Attention Honors Campers: On Thursday morning go to your first period class and stay for attendance. At 8:30 come to the double blue doors by the library and we will meet as a group with our counselors. Please wear comfortable shoes to run in and comfortable clothes that you won’t mind getting a little dirty. Also, please bring a water bottle so that you can stay hydrated. Looking forward to seeing you!
Hey Eighth Graders! The end of the year “Moving Up” assembly will be on June 12th, the last day of school. Do you have a skill or talent you would like to share at that assembly? Perhaps you’d like to perform a fun skit? If you would like to be considered for the assembly, please submit your name and a description of your act to Mrs. Holmes no later than Friday, May 31st at 3:00 p.m. All performances will be reviewed and if necessary, auditions will be scheduled. We look forward to a fun event to celebrate your successes at Morgan Middle School.
The Morgan Track end-of-the-year banquet is today after school. Please walk down to Morgan’s gym immediately after school. Bring your washed track uniform to the upstairs mat room at Morgan and check it back into the coach. All athletes will then walk up to Brooklyn’s Pizza for all you can eat pizza and pop. The awards ceremony will take place while we are eating pizza. Please bring $6 to cover costs.

8TH GRADE PARTY PLANNING
This party is put on by the 8th grade parents. We need everyone's help to give the kids a fantastic time!
