Community Service Project – Are you ready to accept Rachel’s Challenge? There is an opportunity right here at MCMS to show kindness and compassion. A Community Service Project is going on where all you have to do is save your metal tabs from aluminum cans. The proceeds from the tabs will go toward a family of a BCMS teacher whose baby is in a need of a great deal of medical care. Be sure to ask your friends, relatives and neighbors to save their tabs as well.

Each grade level has a 5-gallon bucket that needs to be filled to overflowing. Don’t wait, don’t hesitate, feel great; bring in your tabs today!

Glee Club - Glee club practice today, Wednesday, December 15^th will be ONLY for those students who are going on Friday's field trip - you must have your field trip permission form already submitted. The meeting will be in Mrs. Dodgens's room from 3 until 4.

Basketball – The Basketball team will travel to Beaufort Middle School today to challenge the Chargers. Please dismiss the cheerleaders, basketball team and their managers at 2:55. Please allow 8th graders to pack their belongings to go home after lunch so they can carry them to encores classes.

Cheerleaders – Cheerleaders need to plan on arranging ride arrangements from Beaufort Middle School to No Name Pizza and Subs for our holiday celebration. Each cheerleader should bring $10. They will need to plan for a parent or guardian to either join us or pick them up from No Name Pizza and Subs in Beaufort. No Name is located on the right just after the stop light where Hwy 70 turns left. This is for today, Wednesday, December 15.

On Saturday, February 12^th the cheerleaders will host a Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser at Applebee’s. We would love for you to make plans to attend. In the meantime, we are looking for two people, students and /or staff to take the pancake challenge of who can eat the most pancakes. The winner receives a gift card for a free meal from Applebee’s. If interested, see Dega Lancaster this week.
