Good Morning Mavericks! Today is Friday, October 4th, 2019

Attention all Mavericks! Until October 9th, we will be collecting non-perishable food items for the annual district Food Drive. Can Murphy collect the most food out of the junior highs? Can we reach 5, 500 items collected this year? We will be having a couple of incentives for the food drive. Students will receive 1 Bullseye for the first item donated and a Jump in Line pass for the first five items donated. We will also be having a pizza party for the homeroom with the highest percentage of items per student. Currently, Fell is in the lead with 20.25 items per student with Phillips in a close 2nd place with 20.07 items. Additionally, this year we will be able to accept monetary donations. For every $1 donated, that student’s homeroom will have 8 items added to their homeroom count. Show Mavs care and bring in those items!!

Attention Mavericks!  Ms. Fell is looking for 6th through 8th grade students interested in joining the yearbook club!  Applications are due to Ms. Fell today.  Please see Ms. Fell if you have any questions.
