The junior high football team will be recognized during half time of the varsity football game tonight.
           
GENERAL NEWS
Congratulations to the new cast members of The Bachelor King!  The cast list is posted on the window of the high school office and in Mrs. Schad's hallway.  There will be a quick 5 minute meeting Wednesday after school.  ALL cast members must attend!  We will be handing out scripts and a rehearsal schedule. 
 
Three extra copies of the 2010 yearbook are available for purchase on a first come, first served basis.  Several students have asked for one, so payment for a yearbook should be made ASAP to ensure you get one.  Stop in Mrs. Sowder’s room any time before or after Block 4 to purchase a 2010 yearbook.
 
The MSTM Cheerleaders are launching their yard line fundraiser tonight!  Be one of the first to buy your yard line for $10.00.  You own the yard line all season and if the ball is on your yard line at half time of the home football games, you win $25.00!  Look for the cheerleaders tonight at the football game to purchase your yard line.  All proceeds benefit the football, basketball, and wrestling cheerleaders on their quest for new uniforms.  Your support is very much appreciated!     
 
The MSTM football, basketball, and wrestling cheerleaders are ready to help you with your MSTM fall apparel needs.  The cheerleaders will be selling t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, and hoodies.  You can purchase these items through PaySchools or pick up your order form in the office.  Check out the MSTM website for details.  Deadline for turning in your order is Tuesday, September 7th, at noon.  All proceeds will benefit the MSTM cheerleaders and their quest for new uniforms.  The cheerleaders appreciate your support!    
 
Art Club is a school organization for Jr/Sr high students that will meet after school on the first Monday of each month.  We will do fun art projects and help with concert scenery and backdrops.  Join us for our first meeting on Monday, September 13, after school until 4:30 pm. 
 
One lucky - and safe - Iowa teen will win a brand new Ford Focus as part of the second Sweet Ride on the Safe Side education promotion.  To assist in educating Iowa youth on the state’s new anti-texting while driving and seat belt laws, Charles Gabus Ford, KDSM-Fox 17, and the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT), as part of the Iowa Traffic Safety Alliance, have teamed up to promote teen driver safety. A similar promotion three years ago geared toward work zone safety registered more than 10,000 hits to http://www.sweetridecontest.com/ and more than 3,000 teens entered to win a car.  Contest sponsors expect the website to be even more popular with young Iowans this time around because of its interactive features and theme, making it an effective way to reach the most inexperienced and vulnerable Iowa drivers, save lives, and reduce injuries.  This year’s promotion, which has a superhero theme, runs in a similar manner as the previous contest. To enter, contestants must watch an online educational video about Iowa’s new anti-texting while driving and seat belt laws as they pertain to teen drivers. The contestant then must successfully complete a short safety quiz to be entered into the contest to win the car. The contest runs through March 29, 2011, and the car will be awarded at a special event in April 2011.
 
A Pro Shot basketball shooting skills & development camp will be held on October 30 & 31 in the high school gym.  Registration forms are on the shelf in the office or you can go online to print a form.  The cost is $65 for both days and $40 for one day.  The camp is for grades 4-7 and 8-12.  Pick up a form if you need more information or to register.  Proceeds benefit this year’s post prom.  Forms and payment need to be returned to Brenda Halverson.  The deadline for turning in your registration is October 15. 
 
Found: earrings, necklace, and sunglasses.  Claim these items in the office.
