Hello MZ Families! We look forward to having everyone back on Monday and getting into a new week! It's going to be a busy day, so here's a heads up on what's happening: We kick off Red Ribbon Week with Pajama Day, so don't forget to wear your favorite PJs to school! We also have some important events scheduled: - Fall retakes will be taking place for students who were not present on picture day or who would like a retake. - Senior pictures will be taken during the day. Girls, please wear a tank top or something that can easily slide off your shoulders for the drape. Boys, you'll be provided with a white shirt and tie. - Fall sports pictures will also be taken, so don't forget to bring your uniforms. We're excited to see everyone on Monday and start the week off right! Have a great weekend!
