3 December ~ Pennies for Patients ~ Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Big Thanks to the teachers and students that participated in the Pennies for Patients Program and Pajama Day! Because of your giving hearts we raised over $2,000!! It does not matter how much you gave but how much love was put into your giving so your donations, small and large, have sent a message of love and support to those who are fighting blood cancer. We had a lot of classes raise significant amounts of money for the One-Day Coin Drive but there could be only one winning class for the Pasta Party from Olive Garden. (Drumroll…..) The winner is Mrs. Amland’s 3rd period class raising $430!!! And 2nd place was Mrs. Kiekhoefer’s class raising $205!! Mrs. Kiekhoefer’s 3rd period class has won a surprise Donut Party!!
1st place - Amland $430 2nd place - Kiekhoefer $205 3rd place - Hoffman $190 4th place - Falbo $183 5th place - Dooley $160 6th place – Coach Williams $159 Thanks again everyone for your efforts and remember that no act of kindness goes unnoticed!! MacTown Miracles ~ by 4 December

One of the ways we do this is by establishing a standard of students' arrival in the classroom. When a student arrives late to class, we call this "tardy”.
This year we are using a new communication tool, which will email a parent each time the student is tardy to a class. The tardy count resets each quarter. Policy : · First Unexcused Tardy is a warning · Second Unexcused Tardy is a 30 minute after-school detention · Third Unexcused Tardy is a hour after-school detention · Fourth Unexcused Tardy is a two hour after-school detention · Five or more Unexcused Tardies per quarter, are a three hour after-school detention each occurrence * All detentions are served on Thursday afternoons Helpful Links
