Red Ribbon Week was a wonderful week of pledging to live healthy lives! Add our APEX Leadership and 'Fun'd Run with Field Day and it just couldn't get any better!
THANK YOU to all our VOLUNTEERS and to our parents who came out to Field Day. A special shout-out to Coach B, Coach Engelking and Coach Woodard for setting up Field Day and going that extra mile for our children!
What's next in November?
Lots! Check out our Upcoming Dates below.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. If you choose to 'Trick or Treat' have fun, be careful and watch out for cars. We love you and look forward to Monday!
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5: Picture Day Retake
CELEBRATING OUR VETERANS!
With your help, Mrs. Eldridge is bringing an Honor Wall for our Veterans to Mathews so our Face to Face students and staff will always be reminded of our heros who have served our country. This will no doubt become a new Mathews tradition in the years to come!
You can access the format by clicking the button below.
Examples are provided below the button.
We are honored that we will continue to display these pictures throughout the year to honor those who have served our country in the main hallway of our school. Our appreciation goes beyond the celebration of just one day.
In addition, Mr. Taylor will also be creating a virtual tribute to celebrate our family and friends who are veterans. If you would like to submit a picture of your special veteran, you can email it to Mr. Taylor at Justin.Taylor@pisd.edu. Please include your special veteran's name and ties to Mathews. Your picture may include your vet with family members as well if you like. It will be part of the online virtual tribute.
NURSE ALLEN'S HALLOWEEN EDITION!
PLANO SENIOR HIGH HOCO PARADE RESCHEDULED:
Hello Wildcat Fans,
Since our HOCO parade and evening pep rally were cancelled due to weather, we have had many students, staff and community members show interest in us rescheduling.
We have made the decision and worked out the logistics to reschedule the Parade and Pep Rally for Tuesday, November 2, which is the week that we play Plano West. We will line-up at the Church at 6:30pm and step off at 7:00pm. Then the pep rally will be in the gym.
If you signed up to be a part of the HOCO parade and would still like to participate in this parade, please let me know. Also, if you did not sign up but would like to participate, please let me know.
Hope to see you all there!
It’s a Great Day to be a Wildcat!
