Students: 

The 8th grade Lady Rattlers improved to 2-1 on the season with a close fought victory over Lyman Gilmore 17-13.  As the score indicates it was a defensive battle by both sides.  Sarah DeSart and Angelina Williams led the defensive effort with Sarah scoring 9 of the Lady Rattlers total points, 2 of which came on a steal with 8 seconds left in the game.  Kaylee Vieira tossed in 5 points as well.  The Lady Rattlers are home Thursday against Mt. St. Mary's.

There are several students who have not returned their invitation to test for Advanced Studies: Odyssey of the Mind. Please look for the letter in the mail and return to the school office as soon as possible if you are interested in participating. Thank you!

AOC Friday, don't forget to wear your AOC t-shirts

Magnolia Student Council is sponsoring a SHOES for KINDNESS drive. These shoes will be collected in 1st Period classes now until September 21st. The classroom with the most shoes will be awarded a Root Beer Float Party! Shoes will be donated to the ThinkKindness Organization to benefit an orphanage in Kenya. Please donate comfortable shoes only—no heels. Thank you!
