From the Principal
- We had an extremely fun time at our assembly welcoming in some players, coaches and staff members from the Chicago Steel Hockey Team. The coach and players emphasized the importance of specific character traits, and how important they are in school and also as our students continue to grow older.
- Each student at Munhall was provided a free ticket to the Chicago Steel Hockey game on Saturday, February 4th. Additional tickets are available for purchase for $10.
- I am thrilled to announce our Munhall Lip Sync will be coming back to an in person event! Our Lip Sync will take place at the Norris Center on Friday, March 10th. There is more information below in the newsletter, and our team will also be sharing more details very soon.
- I am also excited to announce our Fiddle Fest in March! Fiddle Fest will occur on Friday, March 3rd. There is more information regarding this event below as well.
- From the PE Staff: 3rd-5th Grade will be performing gymnastics routines on Monday during their PE class. Parents may have conversations at home about ways to conquer stage fright, and the idea of audience members staying positive while watching their peers perform.
Snow has arrived!
We will typically send students outside for recess as long as the real feel temperature is above zero degrees.
Students are only permitted to go into the snow if they have snow pants and boots. Parents typically send students to school with their snow gear placed in a separate bag.
