No donation is too small (or big). At the end of 3rd quarter, the jar with the most money in it, wins. And that person will be "pied" at the end of the football game.
We will also have an In Honor and Memory of poster for people to sign/dedicate in honor of someone they know or love that has been affected by cancer. It will be at both games. Please help the cheer squad raise money for our local Cancer patients and their families.
The Minatare Elementary Sunshine Committee is selling Butter Braids!! Get yours ordered today! Unfortunately, they cannot ship due to the Butter Braids being frozen. They will be ready for delivery or pick up on November 7th. The Sunshine Committee is a group of staff members who do fun and uplifting things for our teachers and students. In the past, we have purchased T-shirts for all students and staff and we put together things to help boost staff morale and host the Student Christmas store.

September 21st our Senior Class spent the day at WNCC at the MultiCultural Youth Leadership Conference.
Minatare Spanish Class put together this amazing board to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! Such amazing work by an amazing group of Students and Staff!
The special education department (district) decided to create the "Sparkle" celebration/award as a way to thank staff for all they do to support special education students in their learning. We know it is not always easy and that it takes extra time and effort to provide the accommodations and modifications that many of the students need to access their education.
Today there is a small table of treats set up in the lounge to celebrate ALL that our Staff does not just for special education students, but all students. We chose two people to highlight for August and September because of the extra effort and their willingness to let us join their classes for multiple periods a day.
This Months Staff Highlights are Tamara Simmons & Steve Foster
