Celebrations
Thank you to all of the families who attended Parent Orientation! It was an amazing turn-out, and Mott staff are so happy to begin the staff/parent partnerships that will support our students! We appreciate our PTO for having the food trucks come out, having the t-shirt sales table, and a great first meeting of the year!
The Book Fair was a huge success! Mrs. Shellenberger would like to thank all of her volunteers!
Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students)
Attend the Kick Off Party on September 18 at 6:00 to find out more about this new initiative at Mott, and how to become part of this group. You do not have to be the father of a Mott student to participate. Uncles, Grandfathers, Family Friends, Volunteers, etc. are welcome!

We have had a lot of students tardy to school this week. Here is the breakdown:
Monday - 41

Wednesday - 34
Thursday - 25

That is a total of 155 tardies for the week!! I know we can cut that number way down with your help!
