Survey Reminder

I want to encourage you, if you have not done so, to complete our parent survey.  There have been a few inquiries about wanting to comment on a few of the questions.  What I plan to do is use the data that is provided to ask questions related to the areas of concern and seek specifics, i.e., comments, from parents at that time.  Your input at this time will further our reflection and aid in seeking the types of specifics that can grow our abilities to serve your family better. I realize your time is precious and thank you for your time and consideration.  Here is the link:

1.       Thank you for the generosity of our families. Our Student Government food drive for Mamrelund Food Bank was very successful.  Your generosity brought over 3,000 food items for needy families in our community.  Thank you.

2.       Progress Reports are coming home today.  Please look for the white folders that they will be sent home in today.

3.       Please consider attending the Family Fun Festival from 11:00-3:00 at Appleview elementary tomorrow.  Mr. Johnson, Middle School Assistant Principal, John Bull, High School Assistant Principal, and Nick Lewis, School Board Trustee, will be a few of the “targets” taking part in the dunk tank. 

Thank you and make it a great day.

Parent Survey

We are always looking to improve on the product that we provide the families of Sparta Middle School.  In order for our improvements to match the needs and thoughts of our families, we need your input.  Please consider thoroughly completing the survey below.  We use this information to adapt how we service our students.  Your thoughts and ideas are critical to doing that successfully.  Thank you for your consideration.

Sparty Cup and Celebrate Success

On Wednesday, March 28, we will have a couple of events take place that are out of the norm.  In the morning, 8:30-12:30, all students on the Honor Roll for second trimester will travel to 3 Mile Project to have some fun.  These students are asked to bring a sack lunch as food will not be served there. 

In the afternoon, 12:50-2:20, we will hold our annual Sparty Cup finale.  This is an afternoon of activities that pit grade level against grade level.  The intent is to celebrate Spartan and grade level spirit.  We have held a week of spirit through grade level participation in dress up days.  Each grade level earns points based on the number of students who participate. The winning grade level earns bragging rights and can celebrate with the Sparty Cup traveling through the advisories.

Parents are invited to come to Sparty Cup and cheer on the students...oh, and laugh at the staff that try to compete with superior middle school talent.

Fall Sports Physical

Spectrum Family Medicine, on the corner of 12 Mile and M37, is offering $15 sports physicals on Wednesday, May 30, 2012, beginning at 5:30 pm.  You may pick up physical forms in the High School and Middle School offices.  They ask that the form be filled out with a parent signature before students get in line.

Celebrate Success Update (note the time and destination change)

All students that are on the honor roll for second trimester will be invited to a field trip to 3 Mile Project.  We will be leaving our building by bus on March 28 at 8:00 am.  We will return around 12:00.  Students will be asked to bring a brown bag lunch or they can purchase pizza at the complex.  That afternoon the students will also be participating in our annual Spring grade level competition, Sparty Cup.  This day should be a fun filled celebration.

Heat is Back On!!

I want to inform you that DTE has come out to the building and remedied the problem.  We now have both of our boilers running at full power.  The building should be up to normal temperatures in an hour or so.

Dylan Bromley- Way Cool!!

Dylan is a seventh grader in our school.  We have always thought he was a special young man.  It appears that Maranda has  found out what we already knew.  Dylan is a speed skater in the Special Olympics.  Maranda, from WOTV Channel 4,  did a little spotlight of him recently.  Below is the attachment. It is worth the time and look.
