Salvation Army Bell Ringing
Our Munhall Student Council will be ringing the Salvation Army bells at the Jewel-Osco on Kirk Road on Tuesday, December 17th from 5:00-7:00. If you’re in the area, please stop by and join in!
Winter Band Concert
Our 5th Grade students will showcase their growth and talent next Thursday during their Winter Band Concert. The event takes place at 6:30 on December 12th at the Norris Cultural Arts Center.
Horseshoe Reward Coming Soon….
As many of you know our students earn Horseshoes for exhibiting the Mustang Way—Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be a Problem Solver. Classrooms collect these horseshoes and students work toward a building-wide reward. Our next reward that we are working towards will be an In-School Snow Day.
We are not sure of the exact date that the students will reach their goal of 3000 Horseshoes, but we anticipate it will be Thursday, December 19th. When we reach our goal, an announcement will be made and an all school notification will be sent home. We are looking forward to SNOW much fun!!
3rd-5th Grade Performance Series Testing
Next week our 3rd-5th grade students will be administered the winter Performance Series assessment. This computer adaptive assessment provides teachers and staff with information specific to math and reading. The schedule for Performance series testig will be as follows:

Art News
Artsonia is the World's Largest Student Art Museum. Yet it's so much more than that! It's a free, safe, educational program designed to connect parents and families with their child's creative activities at school. New artwork from the Munhall Art Studio is currently being uploaded to the website! Permission slips were sent home during conferences. With these slips, you can activate your student's account online, if you have not done so already. A selection of artwork will be added to their account each year, so that you can really see their growth as an artist! Please email me with questions, comments, or if you did not receive a slip at kellsa.jontz@d303.org
