Celebrating Moments That Matter
Celebrating Moments That Matter
I want to take a moment to appreciate each and every one of you. You were faced with the challenge of a short-notice Spirit Week, and you immediately stepped up, participating with enthusiasm, creativity, and without hesitation. It truly reminded me of the incredible energy and teamwork that define our Middle School.
Your support, flexibility, and genuine commitment reflect the care you show for your students and our community every day. Thank you for embodying the spirit of Menor and for making this week such a joyful celebration of who we are.

Halloween Information sent out to Parents!
Friday Oct. 31st
Queridos padres de familia,
Con mucha emoción les compartimos que el viernes 31 de octubre celebraremos Halloween junto a nuestros estudiantes de Middle School.
Invitamos a los alumnos a venir disfrazados y a dejar volar su creatividad. Habrá premios para el primer, segundo y tercer lugar de los disfraces más originales de la sección
El concurso se llevará a cabo en la rotonda durante el almuerzo. Los estudiantes que se acerquen al área serán observados por jueces incógnitos (profesores seleccionados al azar). La elección de los mejores disfraces se basará en una rúbrica que compartiremos previamente con nuestros alumnos durante CT el día lunes.
¡Animémonos a ser creativos y a mostrar nuestro espíritu festivo!
Guaguas de Pan
Gaby López and the support team will visit your classrooms during block 5 to give each student and their teachers a guagua de pan! Thank you for welcoming them to your class.
