School supplies, wacky hats, and good eats!

-Morgan Hills

This just in! School store is now open during lunchtime every Tuesday throughout the school year. It’s not just open to anyone, however. You must be a lucky recipient of a T.E.A.M ticket. These tickets are handed out by team teachers if he or she sees you participating in class, following directions, helping another student, or other things. These behaviors are a part of the MJHS pillars of character and T.E.A.M expectations (teamwork, attitude and manners, for example).

Tickets can be redeemed for prizes. The least expensive thing in the store that you can eat are War Heads and they are only 1 ticket. Airheads are 3 tickets apiece. The most expensive food is popcorn, chips, and a Capri Sun to drink. If you are in need of school supplies, composition books are 5 tickets. Also, spiral notebooks are 2 tickets and assorted pencils are 1 ticket. Now, if you want to save up for something big, save 20 tickets for a lunch bag!

Keep up all of your positive behavior and be rewarded for being a great student at MJHS. Come to the Milford Junior High school store every Tuesday during your lunch time to get great things to eat or great school supplies.

All Treats, no Tricks, for our Troops

-Elijah Cliffe

Treats for Troops is a program that shows school support for the military by donating useful items that troops can use overseas.  This program is organized and sponsored by Builder’s Club, an after-school club that strives to serve the community and improve the school environment.

Treats for Troops is a multi-week competition amongst grade levels and homerooms. Possible items that could be donated includes nonperishable foods (sports drinks, soup, macaroni and cheese), toiletries (toothpaste, kleenex) and entertainment (batteries, books). Students must turn in their item(s) in their homeroom box. Everyone who donates at least one item will see a yellow ribbon with their name on it shown in the cafeteria or outside their homeroom teacher’s door. Bailey Kolb, 7th grade member of Builder’s Club, states, “The goal is for one box to be filled per homeroom, and each box contains about 20 items.”

Items are not the only things that can be donated, however. Builder’s Club is also accepting money. If you bring in money, it will help pay for sending the treats.

Winning classrooms that donate the most items will win a pizza party! So make sure you donate a treat for our troops!
