Dear Parents/Guardians,Happy Monday. I trust you had a wonderful weekend. We have our Birst annual Ugly Sweater Run November 29th. See that

attached information. Come out and join the fun will supporting your MHS clubs/sports and MUSD Holiday Share. We have a

couple things going on this week, AIMS make-‐up and Halloween. Please see the information in this beat regarding the schedule this week for AIMS make-‐up. Halloween is this Friday and our students love dressing up. We have some parameters

regarding what students can wear. Their costumes still have to meet student dress code and we need to be able to recognize them therefore, no masks or face paint that doesn’t allow us to recognize who they are. Thank you for your support on this issue. Have a wonderful week.
