Mandarino Minutes for 1-09-17

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Ski Club-
Ski Club begins today.  We ask that students put their items in the Blue Gym locker room before school on ski club days.  We have a boys and girls locker room for this storage.  We then lock the rooms during the school day.  Please stress to your daughter/son to follow Mr. Brown's time schedules for loading the bus both going to the ski hill and coming back.


Late Start-
We will have a late start this Wednesday, January 11th.  It will be the only late start for January.



From the Desk of the UPTO-
Happy New Year 2017!! The UPTO No-Show Fundraiser is still on-going! If you didn't get a chance or have the means to make a donation in the first part of the school year there is still time.  A suggested $20 donation per student is asked or whatever is affordable.  We would prefer NOT to go back to fundraising next year, but we have come $1000 UNDER budget so far this school year.  With still many committees needing funding please consider a donation!  Cash is fine or check made out to:SJPS turned into the office.  Thanks for all you do! 

Battle of the Books Correction-
The final battle date will be on Friday, February 24th in the media center in front of the whole 7th grade class.


Tutoring-
Beginning tomorrow we will now have free tutoring on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 2:45-3:45 P.M.  On Tuesdays it will be adults from Peace Lutheran Church and on Wednesdays it will continue to be National Honor Society Students from SJHS.


Variety Show Tryouts-
This Wednesday, January 11th after school will be our variety show tryouts.  Mrs. Schrock is the contact person for more information.  We have told the students in a many ways.  A parent slip is in the office for those that did not grab one at our lunches last week.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day-
We will not have school next Monday, January 16th in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

Quote of the week-
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King Jr.
