Happy Birthday today to Alivia and Ashton S.. We also have a very special staff birthday today. Happy Birthday to our very own, beloved, Mrs Pontack in the office. Without all of the hours and hours of afterschool time that Mrs Pontack devotes to the Student Council, we wouldn’t have most of the fun parties and events here at the middle school. She is one of the kindest people you will ever meet, even if you live to be 100 and we wouldn’t be the same school without her. Happy birthday Mrs Pontack!!! And to Levi T., Caleb L., Brennan G. and Cooper and Carter B. over the weekend. Have a wonderful birthday guys!
