Middle School Youth in Government meets Wednesday, March 15, from 3-4 in Cindy Davis's classroom. 

Are you a middle schooler interested in representing your grade playing soccer on Spirit Day Friday March 24th? If so, get a permission form from your Social Studies teacher and ask your parents to complete it and sign it. Forms will be collected by your Social Studies teacher until the end of the school day on Friday March 17th. However, due to having a limited amount of spots, the sooner you turn in your completed from, the higher chances you will have to make the team. E-mail Mrs. Kime if you have any questions. 

The Spring Spirit Day sport on Friday, March 24th will be Powderpuff Flag Football. Teams from each grade level will be formed of 12 players and 4 coaches. Permission Forms for your teams need to be completed and brought back to Mrs. SK in room 116, no later than Monday, March 20th. All forms for the team must be turned in together. No individual forms will be accepted. Please pick up a permission form from your student council grade representative or from Mrs. SK. 

If you are a Junior Beta member and you signed up for the March 20th Old Fort Park cleanup service project, please pick up a release form from the folder on Mrs. Stanley's classroom door. These forms must be signed and returned in order to participate. If you are interested in signing up for the cleanup, there is still time, but you need transportation to and from the park.  

Central Magnet After Prom will be held Saturday, April 15th at MTSU’s Rec Center. CMAP is open to all Central juniors and seniors and their dates, whether or not they go to prom.
