Toys for Tots 🎁

We have a great opportunity to help the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve with their annual Toys for Tots program.

There are kids in our area who might not receive any gifts this year, and we can help change that. We are asking you to bring in new, unwrapped toys by December 19th.

Please bring your donations to the Christmas Tree here in the Middle School. Whether it’s a doll, a game, or a puzzle, your gift makes a huge difference.

Leaving Early for Winter Break? ✈️

Are you planning to leave early for winter break? Make sure that YOUR PARENTS send an email to msattendance@asmadrid.es to let the school know in advance. YOU should email your teachers to let them know and make a plan to make up any missed work.
