Week Ahead: Oct. 28 – Nov. 1

The MS PE Dance Celebration is always a high point of the year.  This year is no different.  Congratulations to Rick Freil, Dawne Kaba, Michele Wrzesinski, and Sanny Tran!!!  It is also a celebration of teamwork both for the students and for the adults.  Our PE teachers couldn’t manage it all without support from so many of you.  Specific thanks to be coming soon once we have the final list of all who assisted!

Next week is also going to be a great week.  With Halloween dress up, the GIN bake sale, and hosting a MRISA tournament, there will be a lot of energy.  I hope you all find a way to join in the fun – by dressing up, purchasing a treat, and/or cheering on some great volleyball.

Hosting HS MRISA Tournament (Oct. 31-Nov. 3): We will be supporting the HS in their on site MRISA tournament.  On Oct. 31, we will cheer on the parade of athletes (gonna be extra fun in our Halloween costumes) at 8am (regular schedule – we just show up for the parade and then return to class).  We would love for all teams to have spectators (not just SSIS teams).  With that in mind, Shelley has created an “adopt a team” sheet for attendance at games.  HS and ES classes have first priority in attendance.  If there is space available, MS classes can attend as well.  Please sign up right away to show interest and to reserve your spots.  For the overall schedule – click here: MRISA tournament schedule.
