Please remind your child to check the Lost & Founds! All items left unclaimed items ARE BEING DONATED TODAY after school. We have three Lost & Founds in the building: one in the K-3 hallway, one in the vestibule outside the lunchroom, and one in the middle school wing. Thank you for your help!
Charter Governance Board openings
The Charter Governance Board currently has openings, and is looking for willing parents and community members to serve. This is the governing body that ensures the missions of our district's three charter schools are upheld and achieved. Board members attend monthly meetings and serve on committees as needed. Anyone who is interested should contact the front office for consideration, thank you!

Local Support for "Hope in a Backpack"
Associated Bank of Northern Wisconsin and The United Way raised funds to contribute to over seven different backpack programs throughout Northern Wisconsin. "Hope in a Backpack," the program from which many MJ1 families participate in, was one of them.
Melissa Doering and district parent Russell Myers presented Ascension Lutheran Church with a check for $340 for "Hope in a Backpack Program" on November 5. Associated Bank plans to be more involved going forward, by volunteering their time to help and possibly extending their own campaign to collect food for the program. We at MJ1 Schools are looking forward to seeing this partnership continue in the future!
If you're interested in being part of The Firebird Foundation, please email fbfoundation@mhlt.org.
