Sock it to Cancer Fundraiser is this coming week.  Exciting News! Our Kellsie' Hope Foundation Fundraiser is here! Starting Monday all the way through Friday of next week, we are hosting a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together and support children and families affected by childhood cancer. Our school community was directly impacted by this foundation, and we, as a family, look forward to giving back to this great cause. Fill those yellow socks with coins or bills, and let's have some fun while we're at it! The classroom that raises the most money will celebrate with a PIZZA PARTY! Decorate those socks, and the top 3 winners will be awarded prizes donated by the WEAVER FAMILY! If we beat our total school donation from last year, our Student Council Officers have an even BIGGER surprise for ALL at MPC and MCS! Share the word with family, friends, and neighbors! Let’s make this fundraiser a huge success together!
