Guess what?! There's ANOTHER mystery in this week's Munson Messenger! How sneaky! Just like last time, all correct answers will receive a Topper Ticket! Click the link below to enter the answer and your child's name in order for them to win!
The Munson Messenger Mystery is: What is the Spirit Week theme for WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 18?
***PLEASE keep a spare set of clothes in your child's bookbag (shirt, pants, underwear, and socks) at ALL TIMES. Spills and messes happen every day, and it's so helpful for EVERY child to have a backup set of their own clothing. Thank you for your help with this!***
Click the link below for an important update on:
- medications (including over-the-counter orders for items such as cough drops) - EVERY medication given at school MUST have an order accompanying the medication
- immunizations

- and more!
Thank you for continuing to monitor your children and for encouraging them to use good hygiene practices both at home and at school to prevent the spread of ALL illnesses!

Every December, the PTO and Mrs. Barnett organize a Helping Hands gift donation drive to help local families have a happy holiday. Please check out the Signup Genius link below, choose a child (or more than one!), and purchase a gift. There are gift suggestions listed for each child; we really want to make sure that every child listed receives at least two gifts. Please wrap the item(s), put the number of the child on a tag with the gift, and return it to Munson Elementary by December 16. Contact the PTO with any questions at munsonelementarypto@gmail.com. Thank you for helping us to make it a happy holiday for local families.
