Enjoy your Winter Break!
See you back at school on Monday, Feb 24th.

Thank you to our Granville NY PTO! Last Friday, they hosted a FREE "Snowflake Shake" family fun dance at MJT. Games, snacks, music and balloons all were available for our PreK and Kindergarten families. If you have a fun picture from the dance, please share it in the comments. (Stay tuned for a 5th and 6th grade, PTO Glow Party on March 13th!)
All school families are welcome to join the PTO whether you can volunteer once a year, help out in other ways or can become a regular volunteer, you are welcome.



Fox Bus Families #129: Family transport is needed for AFTERNOON FOX BUS routes for all schools today, 2/11. Please communicate with your building secretary as to whom will pick up your student. A bus will be available at 4pm to pick up students from their school who do not have a ride home. Thank you for assistance.

Due to staffing shortages from driver illness, the following bus routes will need family transport to school tomorrow morning, Tuesday 2/11:
The Giraffe Bus for all schools.
