Today Miner hosted the School Spelling Bee for our 3rd-5th grade students to determine who would advance to the Cluster Spelling Bee to represent Miner. The participating students won their class-level spelling bees to advance to this point. Thanks so much to the Spelling Bee Committee who made this day possible, Ms. Hayes and the judges for running the event, and of course to all our amazing contestants. Congratulations to our three winners--Priya, Zenay, and Zachary--who will represent Miner in the next round on their way to the City-Wide Spelling Bee! The entire Miner Community is so proud of them and all of our Mighty Miner Bears for their hard work.
Miner Community,
On December 2 and 3, the Miner PTO will host our 7th Annual Holiday Greenery & Baked Goods Sale, partnering for the 5th year with Eliot-Hine PTO and the 1st year with Payne PTSA. We are excited to offer Christmas trees in a variety of sizes (and prices), as well as wreaths, white pine roping (garland), poinsettias, and holiday cards. Most items (along with a donation to ensure families who may not otherwise be able to have a tree or greenery receive one) are available for pre-order on our Greenery 2022 page. Holiday Cards (proceeds benefitting Payne PTSA) will be available for purchase at the sale. Other greenery will be available at the sale as long as it doesn't sell out in pre-orders. We are also in need of volunteers for this event. We need help with set up, sales, and clean up both Friday evening and Saturday. Please click here to sign up for a volunteer shift. We are excited to announce the return of the bake sale portion of the event for the first time since 2019. If anyone is interested in donated baked goods to the sale, please fill out the volunteer form here. Finally, we would love your help spreading the word about our event. Below you will find a downloadable flyer that you can print and share with anyone who may be interested! Thank you for your support! Miner Community, please see the notice below from Instructional Superintendent Shaw Stover introducing Miner's new principal, Mr. Lawrence Dance!
Please join the PTO as we celebrate the end of the school year with a cookout from 5-7pm on Friday, June 17. All teachers, staff, and Miner families are invited to join us to say thank you to our amazing Miner team and to kick off the summer with food, fun, prizes, and more. We hope to see you there!
