Fundraiser pick-up

Parents, we are gearing up for our fundraiser delivery. 
All the fundraiser items will be delivered NEXT MONDAY, DECEMBER 12TH. 
All items MUST be picked up in the Marvin Ridge Middle School MEDIA CENTER on Monday between the following times, feel free to pick a time that you prefer (remember the band concerts for each grade level will be taking place the same day). Parents should enter through the exterior media center door that is to the left of the school's main entrance for fundraiser pick up.

10am-11am 
12pm-1:15pm 
2pm-3pm 
3:30pm-4pm 

There are frozen products and we want to make sure everything gets picked up since we do not have any refrigeration space available to store orders. You are welcome to send a neighbor, friend, older child or family members to come pick up your items if you are not able to make it. All they need is the student name and we'll take care of the rest. Thank you so very much for your support! We had a wonderful fundraiser and could not have done it without you!

With this being the first time we have performed the concerts in the HS Auditorium during the school day a few important details need to be shared with you regarding the upcoming performances. For both 8th and 7th grade families attending, we will need to enter through specific set of doors to access the HS Auditorium. The High School will be operating on their normal schedule and students will be in classes or in transition through the different times of the day as usual. To maintain adequate school security, and to simplify the traffic flow, the doors will open at the above times. Parents NOT using the doors below in the picture will be required to sign in at the front office. As you can see in the picture, the doors on the RIGHT side of the HS front circle will be used. Parents are welcome to park at the HS or MS and walk over.

New Purchase!

Good morning band families! We are excited to share with you a new purchase/addition to the band room. Recently, with the help of the Marvin Ridge Band Boosters, the Middle School band purchased 4 tubas to be used as at-home practice instruments for our new 6th-grade tuba players. We are very excited to be able to offer this opportunity for each child to have an instrument at home, as this is necessary to instill the best possible practice habits within our beginners, and provide an endless amount of opportunities for all students. We sincerely thank the band booster organization for their determination in providing this fantastic opportunity. Also, a special thank you to every band family who participated in our Fall fundraiser (Cheesecake/Cookie Dough) it is because of successful ventures like this, that we are able to provide our band students with the best possible experience!
