Attention Magnolia Students:

We need to keep our school clean! Student Council is sponsoring a competition to come up with the best slogan for a "clean up your trash" campaign. The student with the best name for the school wide effort will be awarded a $15 gift card. Pick up a form in the library this week. The slogan will be selected by the Magnolia Student Council. Deadline for entries is Friday, February 9th!

This week our students will be tasting organic carrots in their science classes as their Harvest of the Month.These carrots are from Mountain Bounty Farm in Nevada City. Carrots are an excellent source of Vitamin A which is needed for proper development of our eyes, skin, and many other parts of our bodies.

7/8th grade "Heart to Heart Dance" permission slips can be turned in at lunch this week through Thursday . Cost is $5.00 or $10.00 for the meal deal, time is 7-9 PM on February 9th.

Congratulations to our 7th grade boys basketball team! Our Rattlers won two out of three games in the Weimar tournament. This earned them 5th place out of eight teams.
