As we begin November, we have completed our first quarter, fall sports seasons have wrapped up, and we're looking ahead into the cozier months.
October was a busy month at MMU, including our annual tradition of Long Advisory. Our Advisory groups had a chance to get off campus, do something fun, and spend time together. Make sure to check out the photo albums in this issue to see what some of our advisories were up to!
Looking ahead, we have a busy November, including a Red Cross blood drive hosted by our Student Council, a production of Peter Pan Goes Wrong by our Theatre Department, and Family-Teacher conferences.

The MMU Global Service Club is hosting an online auction to support their upcoming service trip to Ecuador! The club will be living with host families in a local village for 8 days. We will be working with the local school and helping build their community center. Participants have reached out to local businesses and community members to collect exciting donations, from gift cards and experiences to unique items, all available for bidding online.
