From the MS Principal, Mrs. Atta:
You’ve all done a great job in settling back in to your school routines.  Here are just a few reminders:

• Please remember to look around you and place your trash in the receptacles located around the campus.  Trash is still being left in the hallways and the lanai areas.  If trash continues to be a problem, drastic measures such as closing the 1st floor during lunch hour, may need to take effect.
• Ketchup is being placed strategically in the Boy's restrooms under the seat, as a prank, causing extra work for our facilities people when ketchup splashes out onto the cubicle walls. This behavior will not be tolerated and needs to stop immediately.  Anyone caught doing this will suffer the consequences.
• Gum chewing is NOT allowed at anytime on campus.  Those in violation of this rule, will have the amount of demerits doubled if this continues. It will become insubordination with heavier penalties, that may include hard labor detention on Saturdays.

Please adhere to the rules so that we can keep our campus looking as beautiful as it is, and also show respect and gratitude to those, such as the Facilities department, that help us keep it that way. 

This month’s challenge:
Come to the MS Office between January 26th – 30th, to write the entire books of the Bible correctly, and be entered to win our drawing.
