We are planning on taking a fan bus Saturday to the 8th grade basketball State games. This is open to all 6th-8th grade students. The bus will be leaving MGS at 12:00. Please note - if they win the 2:30 game the bus will NOT be returning before the 6:30pm game, so they will need money for food. There is a sign up for students by the district office - to be eligible to ride the fan bus $4.00 needs to be turned into the office by Thursday PM (this covers the cost of the ticket). Admin will send out a notification when the bus is returning.
