Menno School District

Menno Middle School students took a field trip to Sioux Falls on Wednesday, April 22 where they worked at Feeding South Dakota, bowled at Empire Bowl, and ended the day with shopping at Barnes and Noble.
At Feeding South Dakota, the students were able to box 350 boxes for seniors across the state. Those boxes contained 11,000 pounds of food. They achieved this in an hour and a half.
At Empire Bowl, many students exhibited their bowling skills.

**There will be a volleyball meeting for all girls planning to participate in volleyball next season in grades 5-11 on Thursday, April 30 from 3:00-3:20 in the old gym. If you need to ride the bus home after school, you will get dismissed early from the meeting.

More information for the Blood Drive next week Wednesday April 29th!

Check out the library book fair.

Just a reminder to track fans attending the upcoming meets at Freeman.

There are some changes this year — the main grandstand has already been torn down to get ready for the new developments that will be happening this summer. The concessions will be food trucks this year and a coffee truck.

Bathrooms --- the school will be open both DOOR 4 and the MAIN Doors will be open, so the visiting lockers rooms are available and the main bathrooms, plus there will be 4 Port-a-Pots behind the temporary stands on the home side of the track.

Please bring lawn chairs as seating is not what is normally is at the track.

Community calendar forms are located on the website/app under Documents/Daily Announcements for anybody interested in ordering for the next school year. Orders will be taken through May 1. Please return with your student and have them drop off the form along with payment to their classroom teacher or the office. A big thanks to the Menno Fire Department Auxiliary for taking this project on.
