Annual Chili Cook Off

Hey Folks!  MMA’s annual Chili Cook Off is upon us.  Come join the fun Tuesday, January 29 from 5:30-7:00.

Bring your favorite pot of Chili and enter to win a fabulous prize, or simply come have dinner with friends and family all while supporting field experiences for our school.

Please sign up to bring a pot of chili or cornbread at this link.  If you bring a pot of chili, please also bring a serving utensil and an extension cord to plug in your crock pot.

This is a perfect opportunity for your 6th grade student, or parents, to complete volunteer hours.

Sixth Grade – STARBASE – Highly Important

Dear Sixth Grade Families,
Our sixth grade students have the unique opportunity to attend STARBASE on Hill Air Force Base.  This is a wonderful STEM program offered to very few schools in Northern Utah.  The permission slip has already been sent home and returned to school by each family, thank you.  This is a five day field trip one day a week for five weeks.  The dates for this wonderful experience are:
STARBASE:
Monday January 7, 2019
Tuesday January 15, 2019
Wednesday January 23, 2019
Wednesday January 30, 2019
Wednesday February 6, 2019
It is your responsibility as parents to get your child to and from STARBASE on each of the dates listed above.  I encourage you to carpool with each other.  I would like permission from each family to send out a list of the sixth grade parents e-mail addresses to each of you so you can coordinate rides.  Please let me know as soon as possible if you do not want me to share your e-mail address with the other sixth grade families.
STARBASE is on Hill Air Force Base; we have a few plans to get your students on base.  Other schools hire a bus to get them to and from STARBASE.  A bus costs $500.00 a day so that is not an option for us.
Our first plan is to meet at The Aerospace Museum and STARBASE will send a Hill Air Force Base bus to come pick us up and transport us to and from STARBASE.  The information for this plan is located here. Roy-Gate-Base-Bus   One last thing, I can not press upon you enough not to be late dropping off or picking up. The use of the base bus is a courtesy that has been extended to STARBASE and we do not want to keep them waiting; especially if they have other routes.
The second plan, if  Hill Air Force Base cannot come get us, is to have parents transport their child onto base.  In order for anyone to get onto base they need to provide some information.  Please fill out this form with the appropriate information if you think there is any possibility you might drive to or from this field trip one of the days.  TRANSPORTATION-FOR-BASE-ACCESS-18  STARBASE needs this information by December 20th.  Please get this information to me (although the form states otherwise)  as soon as possible.
Once this information is turned over to security forces we will not be able to add any drivers.  If you think there is a small chance you may drive your child then please fill out this form.  These are the instructions for getting to the South Gate.  South-Gate-Contingency-Plan-18
If you have any questions please let me know.

Ogden Electric Light Parade

November 24th is the annual Ogden Electric Lights Parade. Our school will be represented and the marketing committee has come up with a float that will represent MMA.

We are looking for students from MMA who would like to be part of our parade! The meeting place will be in front of the Ogden Temple. The parade starts promptly at 5:30pm. The floats will be lined up at 5pm.

Students 12 years and you get must ride in the trailer or truck. If you are over the age of 12 then you may walk next to the float. Students who ride or walk will be carrying white peace signs or holding tea lights.

If your child would like to be a part of the parade then we will have waivers to sign in front of the temple.

The parade starts on 22nd and Washington and then ends at 27th. My advice would be for our MMA parents whose child(ren) are in the parade park towards the end of the parade so when we are done you can find your child.

We have some, but if your child would like to wear glow necklaces and bracelets during the parade we highly suggest the more the better! (It is a light parade!) the glow wear is also our symbol to honor Troy and Molly Cox.

If you have any questions you can contact Autumn in the office or Ms. Kaley

Hogle Zoo Field Trip – Important Information

Our next field trip is right around the corner.

Next Wednesday, October 31, our class will be joining Ms. Kirsten’s class on a field trip to the zoo.

This field trip is unique in that non-school age siblings are able to attend and we typically get more parents than are required by the zoo.  Please understand that any number of parents beyond the 5:1 student to adult ratio are required to pay their own admission.  In order to make this as fair as possible, the first 5 chaperones who have already signed up, will receive free admission.    If you plan on bringing non-school age siblings, you are also required to pay admission.

A reminder to notify our room mom, Natalie,  if you are planning on driving your own child.  This way we have all students accounted for.  Please do not make alternate ride arrangements without communicating your plans with her.

Lastly, we will be abiding by MMA policy regarding field trips and dress code.  Please be sure you review this policy if you have any questions.

Fall Festival Volunteers Needed!

Please see this message from our room mom.
Just wanted to say thanks to those of you that signed up to help out for fall festival and have brought hair color spray already!
I’m still looking for as much hair color spray as we can lay hands on, as this will ensure we can run this booth all night. So far I have enough for probably the first hour. Please turn in donations any time this week to Mrs. Amity’s room and we will collect it for the booth on Friday.
I’m also looking for additional volunteers for the following time slots so we can have two people running the booth at a time. Team work is dream work!
I need one volunteer for each time slot, feel free to sign up for more than one if you are able to, that would be a huge help!
4-4:30pm
4:30-5pm
5-5:30pm
5:30-6pm
6-6:30pm
6:30-7pm
Clean up (7-715pm)
Thanks again everyone, I very much appreciate all of your help with this!
Natalie
