MMS HSA News - Week 10
MAPLEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION
It is hard to believe that it is already November! The clocks have changed, and it seems so has the weather.  

As it gets colder, please remind students that the doors to the building do not open until 8:12 a.m. (with first period starting at 8:20 a.m.). Students are required to wait outside until the doors open unless they have arranged with a staff member to enter the building early.  

This week, all SOMSD schools are closed Tuesday, Thursday and Friday!  We just got word of a Teen Vacation Camp (Grades 6th-8th) being run by the South Mountain Y for Nov. 5 & 7.  It runs from 7 a.m.- 7 p.m. and takes the kids off-site to places like Dave & Busters.  For more information, contact the Y at (973) 762-4145. 

Tuesday, Nov. 5 is Election Day. If you have not taken advantage of mail-in voting, please make a plan to vote on Tuesday.  Remember that every vote counts!

Remember This Week: 
  • Tuesday, Nov. 5: SCHOOL CLOSED
  • Thursday, Nov. 7: SCHOOL CLOSED 
  • Friday, Nov. 8: SCHOOL CLOSED 

Next Week: 
  • Friday Nov. 15: Picture Day (Retakes, etc.)
School's Closed
School will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 5; Thursday, Nov. 7 and Friday, Nov. 8.
The MMS Student Council School Store is open for business! This year, there are two opportunities to shop: 
  • The School Store at lunch sells non-food items and accepts Cougar Cash.
  • The Snack Store runs after school and accepts cash. Proceeds from cash sales will help the Student Council run their annual events: MLK Silent Peace March, MMS Idol, and Battle of the Classes.
Please help stock the Snack Store by shopping their Amazon Wish List. 
Select the Maplewood Middle School's Gift Registry Address at checkout to send directly to the school.

Make your gift (and ALL of your Amazon purchases) go twice as far! Shop through Amazon Smile and Amazon will donate a portion of proceeds to the HSA. 
Picture Retakes
The makeup day for school pictures is Friday, Nov. 15. If your student is retaking their school picture. please have them bring the old pictures to return to the photographer. Order online at Lors Studio. The code for MMS is 20-44MM.
No-Frills Fundraising
The Maplewood Middle School HSA is now a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which means your donation could be tax-deductible. Many companies offer matching gift programs for their employees. Ask your HR department what’s available at your company. It's even easier if you donate online.
HSA Meeting
The third HSA meeting will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 7:30 p.m. in the MMS Library.
SEPAC Meeting
The next SEPAC meeting will be Tuesday, Nov. 19 at 7:30 p.m. This meeting is aimed at parents of preschoolers and elementary students as well as any students who are new to the district.
PUB NIGHT FOR  MMS MUSICAL FANS!
It is time to announce our next 13! Fundraising Event. 

On Nov. 13, we will be hosting a PUB NIGHT. Click here for details. Feel free to post on your social media and share it with your friends and neighbors.

A portion of all sales that evening will come back to the MMS Musical. 

We are planning some fun surprises for that night but need a headcount, so please register! 
Help Stock the Cougar Cub Closet
The Hub, the HSA and Cougar Cares have come together to make sure all MMS kids have the essentials they need to get through the day. Here's an Amazon Gift List with snacks and toiletries and some other basics that will be available to kids who could use them. More ...
