Stinger Families,

The Scholastic Book Fair gets kids excited about reading and earns funds for our school. Everyone is cordially invited to attend our Book Fair on September 21-25! We will host a Family Night at the Book Fair on Tuesday, September 22 from 5:00-6:30. Also attached, a letter from Mrs. Carr, our principal, with Book Fair information. Get them prepared by visiting https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/maumellemiddleschool where you can also create a Book Fair eWallet. eWallets are very convenient for families who want to provide an account for students to make book fair purchases without having to send money to school.

A few Stinger football players recently finished work in Ms. Reeves' ELA class early and came over to assist students in Ms. Muffley's math class with their work!

Thank you for being positive role models!
