BRAIN BRAWL
Calling all Brain-iacs for a good cause. We are looking for two teams to compete for Bear in the Brain Brawl sponsored by the Montgomery Education Foundation. The three top-scoring teams win cash prizes for our school. We are looking for parents, grandparents, siblings, friends… anyone who can win for Bear! No costs involved. The Brain Brawl is November 8 at 6 p.m. at AUM. If you love trivia and the thrill of competition, then email Kreg Sherbine or text (734) 604-1401.

PTA MEMBERSHIP UPDATE
Thank you to all that have joined the PTA. We have a total membership count of 834. We were short of our 1000 membership goal but did surpass last year’s memberships by over 100! ALL classes reached 100% again for the 16th year. Instead of a popsicle party for each class, we want to reward the school with Nancy’s Italian Ice! Students will get the sweet treat during lunch on September 25th.

Congratulations, Donovan Patton for winning overall memberships with 50 memberships!!! He will be getting $50!

Mrs. Geesey’s class won with most memberships. Her class will be receiving a pizza party, and Mrs. Geesey will be getting a ½ day teacher pass!
