From the Principal
- This week I noticed our students giving a maximum effort on their spring diagnostic. I am so proud of the growth our entire school has made. All that daily hard work is paying off, we also have our families to thank for their involvement.
- Thank you so much to our PTO and families or an AMAZING staff appreciation week. Our staff was spoiled all week and ate so much good food. We also appreciate all the decorating on our doors and around the entire school. Our Munhall staff is the best and deserves every minute of that for everything they do for our students!
We will kick off “Anderson Animal Shelter Weeks” with a Spirit Day on Monday. The theme is “Dress Like an Animal.” We encourage everyone to wear clothes with animals/animal prints, sports jerseys or hats for the Cubs/Bears/Dolphins/Cardinals/Hawks etc, cat ear headbands, animal onesies or MUSTANG spirit wear!
Our last PTO meeting will be on Tuesday, May 9th @ 7:00 PM. You may join us in the Munhall LRC, or via zoom.
