MMCI ANNUAL COMMUNITY MEETING ON NOV 20TH
Dear MMCI Community (all parents and staff at MVM and CCM), The MMCI Nominating Committee is pleased to announce the 2013 MMCI Annual Community Meeting and invite everyone to attend on Wednesday, November 20th at 7pm at MVMPCS (217 Dill Avenue in Frederick). This is the meeting where we hold our annual elections for MMCI, MVMPCS, and CCMPCS positions that will open in 2014. There will also be updates about MMCI and its finances, both of the schools operated by MMCI (MVM and CCM), and additional information about the exciting changes that are coming up for MMCI and both schools in the coming months and years. There may be a vote on proposed changes to the MMCI bylaws. Volunteering does not require lots of experience, college degrees, or certifications. The most important things are a heart to serve, the desire to learn and adapt, and the ability to take on challenges until theyre completed. If you are interested in serving on the MMCI BOT, one of the GCs, or next years Nominating Committee, feel free to contact the MMCI Nominating committee by email or letter (placed in the MMCI mailboxes at MVM or CCM). A detailed list of positions and descriptions will come out next week and any proposed changes to the bylaws will be provided to the community by November 6th. Sincerely,
ART ROOM: In addition to clipping box tops for MVMPCS, start saving the entire cardboard cereal and cracker boxes for our MVMPCS Art Room. The boxes can be folded flat to save space. In addition, Ms. Elizabeth can also use empty paper towel rolls and cleaned, empty yogurt containersboth small and large. HEALTH ROOM: Tissues are in high demand during this time of the year and the Health Room would appreciate any donations!
PORTRAIT RETAKE DAY IS THURSDAY, NOV. 21 Photographers from Lifetouch will be at school next Thursday to take absentee photographs and picture retakes. If your child was absent, an order form will be sent home. If you do not receive a form, they are also be available at school. For those students who need a picture retaken, please send a note to your childs teacher along with the unwanted portrait package. Regardless of purchase, all students are photographed for our MVMPCS yearbook. However, a percentage of picture sales benefit the MVMPCS Student Activity Fund that support supplemental educational opportunities such as Study Island, etc. By the way, we received a commission of $1,164 for our fall 2013 photos!
