CHECKING STUDENTS OUT BEFORE SPRING BREAK

If you are planning to check your child out early on Friday, March 31, please send a check-out note with your child to turn in to the front office before school that morning. We will prepare a pass for them to be dismissed at the correct time. We will not take requests over the phone or over email that day.

You may also come to the school in person to check your student out, but be prepared to wait up to 20 minutes or more for us to have an office aide take a pass to the classroom to get your student. The latest available in person check out this day is 1:00PM. As a reminder, you must have your license with you to check your student out. Thank you for your cooperation and patience on Friday, March 31.

Toby Chiu, an MHS junior, is holding a food drive for his Eagle Scout Project, and all donated food will go to Meals by Grace, a non-profit that helps those struggling with food insecurities, feeding 266 families in Forsyth and Dawson Counties. Acceptable items include:

canned meat, canned vegetables, canned fruits, pasta, snack bars, and starches - Food must not expire before May 1.

The donation box will be at the front atrium of the school from March 20 through April 14. All donations are greatly appreciated.

The next Senior Snack is Thursday, 3/16 and we will be serving parmesan breadsticks from Peace, Love and Pizza. For those that are gluten free, Peace, Love and Pizza has offered to use their gluten free pizza crust for the breadsticks.

If you would like the GF option, please let us know at bit.ly/mhsmarchsnack. You only need to fill out the form if you would like the GF option.

GAMES

The Eagles are flying away for two games this week!

LAX GO EAGLES

MILTON THEATRE SPRING MUSICAL

Disaster! is a jukebox family musical comedy, set in 1979, where earthquakes, piranhas, tidal waves, infernos, and the songs of the 70’s take center stage. The plot follows a group of New Yorkers who attend the opening of a floating casino and discotheque where multiple disasters, reminiscent of 70’s disaster films, occur.

 It will be hard for you not to get up and dance to the iconic 70s songs such as: Donna Summer’s “Hot Stuff”, Gloria Gaynor’s “I will Survive”, or The Commodores’ ”Three times a Lady" among others. We promise you’ll laugh the night away in this hilarious homage to the era of bell-bottoms, platform shoes and the hustle.

COMMUNITY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

This week's PTO Community Partner Spotlight is on My Esign. MyeSign™ from MRGD Software (based in Milton, GA) is the future of collaborative and secure document and contract management solutions. The world of eSignature exploded during COVID and MRGD decided it was necessary to offer an alternative to the traditional options in the marketplace ( Docusign, HelloSign, SignEasy). By incorporating features that add collaborative workflow (saving time) and advanced security (blockchain), affordability, and ease of use – whether you are a consumer, small business, or enterprise, MyeSign™ has the right solution for you.

Visit us on-line at https://www.mergedsoftware.com/myesign.
