Jaguars each day during Homeroom, we will continue conducting our collection for Haitian Relief. Currently, we have collected a little over $2000. Thank you to the Senior Class for giving all proceeds to the relief fund.
Additionally, each morning and afternoon in the loop (pick-up and drop-off areas) donations will be accepted. Stay tuned to further announcements regarding what you can do to support Haiti Relief.
January 25th – 29th is Literacy Week. As we celebrate Literacy week, we are asking all 1st Period Homeroom classes to participate in the “Doors to Literacy” door decorating contest. Classes are asked to share quotes and images from books they have read. The winning homeroom will be invited to attend Mr. Parker’s Café-Read-A-Latte on Friday. All doors must be completed by 10:00 AM Thursday, January 28th.
Look for Literacy Features throughout the week on your morning announcements.

Today I am going to be talking with you about the core value of kindness. Have you ever heard about something called a "random act of kindness"? Random acts of kindness are things that people do to cheer up or help someone else without expecting anything in return.
Random acts of kindness can be demonstrated at school each day. You can do simple things like holding a door open for someone; smiling at people and saying "hello"; or saying something nice to another student if you see that they are having a bad day. If you see that another student is upset about something, you can offer to sit and listen to what is bothering them. Many times, just listening to another student when they are having a problem can make them feel better.
Remember that no act of kindness is ever wasted and the best way to cheer yourself up is to cheer up someone else.
Showing kindness at school can prevent a lot problems. Strive to be a kind person and be proud of yourself each day. Make decisions that show that you are a leader that cannot be pressured to do the wrong thing. It starts with you.
When all students do the right thing no matter what, always showing kindness in their actions, our school will be a safe and better place to learn.
Students purchase your wristband for MLEC’s Dress Down Day brought to you by your PTSA. Dress Down Day will take place this Friday, January 29th listen for more details, rules, and regulations. Wristbands are $2.
Students are reminded to come to school each day on time! Students if you are absent, remember that 5 unexcused absences in an annual course, or 3 unexcused absences in a semester course, will result in a no credit (N/C) for the class. MLEC is in a block schedule, therefore 5 unexcused absences in an annual course WILL result in 10 unexcused absences and WILL result in a no credit being issued, and 3 unexcused absences in a semester course will equal six absences and also result in a no credit. Remember if you are absent you MUST bring a note and receive an admit to excuse your absence. Admits are issued in the Student Services Office prior to the start of school each day and during lunch and after school in the Main Office with Ms. Wellman. Do not be absent unnecessarily.
Students arriving tardy to school must sign in at the Tardy Center. Students with excessive tardies will be required to serve an Administrative Detention. BE ON TIME!!! AND COME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY!!!
The Principal’s Word of the Day is
LITIGATE (LIT uh GATE) v to try in court; to engage in legal proceedings
His lawyer thought a lawsuit would be fruitless, but the client wanted to litigate. He was feeling litigious; that is, he was feeling in a mood to go to court.
