Remember to turn your clock back 1 hour this Saturday evening for Daylight Savings Time!   Early Voting Ends 10/31; Election Day - 11/5 It only comes around every 4 years - the chance to choose who will lead our country for the next term.  Everyone has an opinion. Everyone wants a say. It saddens me to hear people say things like, my vote won't count, or, it doesn't matter anyway so I'm just not going to. It does matter. It's a chance to voice your opinion. To have some input regarding the biggest job in the country. Seems rather important, doesn't it? Tomorrow is the last day you can early vote and skip big lines. Be heard. Do your duty - whether your candidate wins or not - at least you had a say. And you took part in one of the freedoms we have as Americans. The actual day to vote (with those super duper long lines) is November 5th. Don't miss this chance to make history. Yes, history. No matter the outcome, you can be proud of the fact that you had a...

Volleyball 10/24-10/26 - TACS Tournament, TBA Soccer 10/24-10/26 - Varsity Boys, TACS Tournament, TBA Brownie Sundaes, 10/25 Don't forget, this Friday the Seniors are hosting another Brownie Sundae event in the Commons. So bring your $2, or give your child a chore to earn $2, or let them purge the trays in the car for $2, or whatever you want to do. The gist of it is, it'll only take $2 to gain you hero status this week. You're welcome. :) Harvest Festival, 10/26 If you have looked out your window at 4:30 pm and noticed that it's already getting dark, you would be correct. It is. Which means Harvest Festival is right around the corner. As in this Saturday. Be sure to join us for this year's Harvest Festival from 3-7 pm. There's games, prizes, food, fun, and basically everything you need to have a super fun and enjoyable Saturday evening making memories with your family.  You can register here. And it's free.

That means you should be receiving your very own historical record reflecting on your student's progress. Do with it what you may. Scrapbook it for future bragging rights - or blackmail, I'm not here to judge - or make copies and send it along to all the members in your family. Again, I'm not here to judge. All I know is K5-6th graders will receive a paper copy in a cute little manilla envelope. Which we will need you to sign and return to the teacher asap. (Yes, we need those back. We shall be sending 3 more report cards home this year and it saves resources if we reuse.) Parents of 7th-12th graders will be receiving a link in their email. Click that link and ...

In 2021-2022, that number jumped to $820. Who knows what that number is now with the cost of living continually going up. Inflation. Supply chain issues. Energy cost increases. And the list goes on. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know.  This is where the PTF Minutemen Club comes in.  The PTF supports the teachers and classrooms. Plain and simple. If they hav...

You have to deal with games, practices, dinners, family situations, traffic, and well, just life in general. And we know that things can get pretty hectic. Sometimes even pull your hair out hectic. (I do not recommend this strategy for bald people. Actually I don't recommend it at all. It's rather painful.) So to help us all out - you, your students, the kitchen staff, me...all of us... - I highly recommend setting an alarm or reminder on your phone to put lunches in every week before Sunday night at 11:59. Yes. I sai...

  Cross Country 8/16 - MS & Varsity, Siegel High, Away, 6:00  Golf 8/18 - Varsity, Merrol Hyde, Away, 3:30 Volleyball 8/18 - Varsity, Lancaster, Home, 5:00 Patience...patience...patience I don't know if you noticed it or not, but it seems like this past summer just sped by like it was on two wheels. It felt like it barely even started before it was already over. But, no use crying over the inevitable. School had to restart so right now seems like as good a time as any. So welcome back to the returning students - we missed you. School just isn't the same when y'all aren't here. And welcome to the new students - we cannot wait to make your acquaintance and get to know you better. I hope your week - and your student's week - was excellent. If it wasn't, well, I hope it was mostly good. Of course, there were some kinks along the way and that elementary secretary seemed a little scratchy at times (I'm so very sorry. I hate being scratchy and I am determined t...

  Voucher Time 5/15 12:00 noon No, it is not Thursday. No I have not lost my mind (fooled you!), and no. I'm not trying to rush things. Just wanted to send out this week's Parent Page today (Wednesday) to give everyone a quick reminder that... Tomorrow is the day the EFS applications roll-out. 12:00 noon is the time, so please, have all your documents uploaded and stored on your computer for ease of access because as soon as the clock tolls 12, things may get congested and a little bit laggish. Good luck and we wish you the best.  Oh yea. Here's the link. So Many Things, 5/17-5/23 I apologize in advance for the length of this week's Parent Page. It's a whopper but I'm positive you want to know all the things so I'll try my hardest to use bullet points to help navigate upcoming activities. 5/17 - MS Awards, 6:00 pm church auditorium 5/19 - 6th Grade Banquet & Graduation, 6:00 5/20 - K5 Play, Graduation, and Elementary Awards (1st-5th grades), 6:00 church ...
