Please be aware that we do not have many students riding buses at this time. Drop-off times in the afternoon will be fluid. Buses are arriving early because there aren't many students on the bus. Please arrive at afternoon bus stops at least 15 minutes early. Keep in mind that next week we will have more students riding buses as we add 3 more grade levels to in-person learning, which will alter the times by a few minutes. Thanks for your cooperation and understanding.
We have had two very successful drop-offs at the Primary Center so far. Great job everyone! Just a reminder to everyone that going forward, all drop-offs will be in the back. The front is for bus drop-off only. We will have at least two people in back to help with traffic and get students out of vehicles. You can remain in your vehicle. Parents, please communicate this to grandparents or anyone who is dropping off students in the mornings so that they are aware of the procedure. We look forward to a great year! Thanks!

MPC Kids Heart Challenge Update
Mr. Belosi has been getting some questions about gifts (T-shirts, balls, etc) that students still need to receive. This is the response from the American Heart Association in regard to this.
"The gifts are all packaged and are still being held by state. They’re in “zones” in the warehouse so we can release the gifts as allowed or recommended by health experts. As a health organization, we have to adhere to a stricter standard than retail stores, etc.With that said, the current plan is to ship the gifts for the beginning of the school year. "
As of now plans are to get these out as soon as we can when the year begins. If there are problems with shirt sizes we will work to correct these.
We will hopefully have a celebration party early in the year or the students will be able to slime at the kick off next year, if we cant set up a date early in the year.
Overall the school raised $13.392.53!!!!!!! This will also provide $1200.00 of PE equipment to the school!!!
We had 55 students raise over $100!!!!!!!!
The top fundraisers in each grade level were.
K - Cate Branum - $435.00
1st - Anna Kremmel - $347.86
2nd and overall top fundraiser - Jackson Klotz - 602.86
Once again great job to all involved!!!!!!! If you have any questions email Mr. Belosi mbelosi@mccsd160.com
