Our Last unit of the 3rd Nine Weeks will be Gymnastics for the girls and Wrestling for the boys.
We have weighed every boy and they are in a specific weight class and will only be wrestling boys within a very specific range in their weight class.
The mats will be washed down with a bleach solution.
got hope???
You may have heard that there is a t-shirt sales campaign going on at McClure and not know the background of the ”why”. At McClure, we have several students dealing with significant medical issues (among those cancer and organ transplant needs). We as a school community wanted to reach out to help those families and to show our support for them financially and visually.
Each advisement group was asked to develop a theme – one line – that would show visual support for these students as we wear the shirts, but also generate conversation about why we are wearing them. Each advisement group submitted suggestions and the student body as a whole chose the winning theme “got hope?”
We are currently selling the t-shirts for $10 or a bracelet that says got hope? for $3. You can purchase both as a set for $12. All proceeds from the shirts will be given to these families to meet the additional financial needs that they are incurring. The families may choose to give the funds to the charity of their choice if they personally don’t need the funds. One of the families has been assisted tremendously by the Rally Foundation and may earmark the funds they receive for that organization.
This is a time where we can all step out and make a personal difference to students at our school. We hope that you will purchase a shirt and talk to your friends and neighbors about purchasing one as well to help these families! The shirts are on sale for the next few days and are available in black with white print, black with hot pink print and brown with turquoise print. Checks may be made payable to McClure Middle School PTSA.
Thanks for your support!
