Howdy! What a beautiful weekend. I hope you were able to spend some time outside doing something fun. I actually ordered a hot chocolate Sunday morning at the baseball fields. Bring on the fall weather!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all of your support with the Apex Fun Run. What a success! Our goal was to raise enough money for an outdoor track around the outside of the field, and we did it. We couldn't do it without you and your support. All those days of your little lion coming home bugging you to get more pledges. 😀 A shout out to Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Dowell's class for turning me into a chocolate chicken. That was a first!! We sure had fun doing it though.
Mrs. Smith is still collecting cardboard rolls and plastic caps for STEM.
Have a wonderful week!

Chick-fil-A’s annual MISD Spirit Week is Monday, September 30, 2024-Friday, October 4, 2024. On Thursday, October 3, 2024, from 5-7 PM, some of our wonderful Keenan teachers will be helping with mobile orders and the drive through! Come see your teachers in action and let them serve you dinner! A portion of the proceeds raised during Spirit Week go to the MISD Education Foundation.
This is the week for our annual district wide PB&J drive! Last year lions collected over 9000 lbs and we collected 12000 district wide. We are hoping to beat that number again this year, especially because our drive coincides with our Homecoming game! The drive will be this week from September 30th- October 4th.
