Menomonie Middle School Announcements 

Student Council:  Members interested in helping with the Spirit of Excellence Award will meet in Ms. Yonash's room after school today until 4:00pm.

MultiCultural Club:  There will be no meeting today.  Remember, if you turned your permission slip in, we go on our field trip to the Ordway on Thursday, April 18 and we sell concessions after school that day at the track meet.

Choir Large Group:  Congrats to both the 7^th & 8^th grade choirs on fabulous performances at the Large Group Festival.  Both groups received top ratings from the judges - well done choirs!

Science Olympiad:  I am so proud of everyone who competed at State this weekend! State is a whole other level of competition. It is VERY difficult to medal, and is becoming more competitive each year. Those who medaled should be very proud, and those that didn't should not feel bad at all, qualifying is its own honor! 

In addition to their awesome science skills, our students were also complimented on their manners and behavior by the restaurants we visited, and the hotel we stayed at. Good job representing Menomonie!
