Attention K-4 Parents/Guardians check your email for links to Party Sign-ups! PTO kindly asks that parents sign up for only one class party planner/host per student for the first week sign-ups are open. If after that time there are still open slots feel free to sign up for an additional party. (Example. If you have a 1st and a 3rd grader you can sign up for one party planner for each student).
Tonight was Futures Night at MTHS for MGS baseball and softball versus Germantown Hills. Both teams played great with MGS coming out on top in both baseball and softball. Way to go Redbirds!!!
Help Needed! The school year is off to an amazing start. The MGS Music Boosters could use your help. We are in need of a president and a chairman for our Fruit and Cheesecake fundraiser that is quickly coming up this fall. Both positions are very easy. If you are interested in either of these positions, please let Ms. Trotter or Mrs. Gregait know as soon as possible. We would greatly appreciate your support!
Attention MGS Families: Our Beanstack reading program is back! Beanstack is an online platform used by schools and libraries to run reading challenges and programs, allowing users to log their reading, track progress, earn digital badges and rewards, and participate in reading-related activities. It motivates readers of all ages and connects them to books and library resources to foster a love for reading and improve literacy skills. Please see the attached documents so that you can help your student log their Beanstack minutes and activities. If you have a library card at the Illinois Prairie District Library you can link your accounts. There is a flyer attached, explaining how to do that. Any questions you have about Beanstack, please direct to Mrs. Aeschliman at saeschliman@mgsredbirds.org.
