************************************
Hello MMS! So, we said our tearful farewell to Mr. Gold, but he’s promised to return from time to time (including, among many other times, at our Dance-A-Thon -- more info on his attendance to come! Hope you’ve all saved the date Friday, October 28th! You & your students won’t want to miss it.) In the meantime, this week we’re so lucky to welcome our Interim Assistant Principal Mr. Healy. As Mr. Brown quipped, it will be magical! Here’s what else you need to know …
HELP OUT ON PICTURE DAY: Photo day for all students is Wednesday, September 28th. Click HERE for all the info you need. Also, we need parent volunteers to help the day go smoothly!

PBIS MEETING: The next meeting of the PBIS committee (“Positive Behavioral Interventions & Support”) is Thursday, September 29th from 3:30pm-4:30pm in MMS room 291. Ms. Felder would like to invite parents to participate. Please consider joining the discussion! This group of MMS staff & administration brainstorms and implements so many worthwhile, enriching, and fun activities for our students.

MMS MUSICAL: Registrations to audition for the MMS Musical are due by Friday, September 30th. All info can be found here https://sites.google.com/site/mmsmusical/. Contact Ms. O’Sullivan at mosulliv@somsd.k12.nj.us with any questions. Don’t let your student miss out on this extraordinary school-wide experience!
ASSEMBLY FOR 7TH & 8TH GRADES: Your MMS-HSA brings another great assembly -- on September 30th, Fairleigh Dickinson University students will perform the charming musical "Possibilities" for our 7th and 8th graders. “POSSIBILITIES” is a student-written tale about making dreams come true, and it features classic musical theater songs. The show focuses on a day in the life of a group of high school students attending a career fair. The students come face to face with their dreams, external pressures, and ultimately their own ability to choose what’s right for them. Thank you so much to Morgan Hillis and Sarah Morrison, your HSA Cultural Arts chairs, for organizing this event for our students.
PROOF OF IMMUNIZATION: Sixth grade families please click HERE to read an important message from our amazing Ms. Porter regarding the proof of immunization document required for each student.
GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT NEWSLETTER: Guidance counselors Ms. Battle and Ms. Dios asked us please to share with parents the September issue of the guidance department newsletter. Please click HERE to access this terrific resource.
