The girl's basketball games scheduled to take place in Scotland today are still on at this time. Temperatures are forecasted to drop late this evening, and it appears it will stay below freezing after that point for an extended period of time. Given all the precipitation that will be on the ground, Menno School will be starting 2-hours late tomorrow, Wednesday the 14th. We will continue to monitor the situation and make further decisions as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding during this very challenging and unpredictable weather event.
Senior, Abby Bender, is sponsoring a clothing drive for an FCCLA project. Please consider donating.
This week, the Menno School staff is participating in a gameshow called “Holiday Road.” Through the game, we hope to show our staff members how much we appreciate all they do for our students and our district - and hopefully bring a little holiday cheer to the hallways at the same time!
Each staff member will spin our “Big Wheel” once a day and will be given a challenge to complete, a prize, or both! Completing a challenge earns them points, and at the end of the week we will tally everyone’s points up and give out some awesome grand prizes at our staff gathering Friday afternoon.
We are able to do this in large part due to great folks and businesses in and around the Menno community. All of our “Big Prizes” come from donations. Throughout the week, we will be sharing pictures and video of staff members competing to complete challenges, so be sure to check back often!
