WATER BOTTLES AT MCMS
To help students stay hydrated and ready to learn, MCMS allows water bottles to be carried throughout the school day. Please remember that bottles should contain water only. Other beverages are not permitted during the school day.
Fall Fest Dance
Student Council will be sponsoring a Fall Fest Dance. The dance will be from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. on Friday, November 14 . The cost for the dance is $2.00. Only Mifflin County Middle School Students may attend. The dance is casual. There will be a concession stand and games that cost a quarter to play. Proceeds from this dance will support our Tally Your Turkeys Campaign.
Tally Your Turkeys
In the week leading up to Thanksgiving, Student Council organizes and runs a campaign to help the Salvation Army raise funds to benefit our community. During this week, we ask students to contribute money toward our goal. Our collections time this year will be November 10-20! On Friday, November 21, the Student Council will sponsor an assembly to celebrate their accomplishment. Students get the chance to compete in relays with the faculty, learn the total amount of money raised, and see the check presented. There are also prizes for the top money-raising first periods. You can tune into MERF radio in the mornings to hear what classes are topping the “Tally Your Turkeys Leaderboard.”
HOMELESSNESS AWARENESS MONTH – NOVEMBER 2025
Pennsylvania Education for Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness (ECYEH) Week recognizes and brings awareness to the importance of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act and the education needed to provide stability and consistency to students experiencing homelessness across Pennsylvania. Under federal law, children are considered homeless if they lack a fixed, regular, or adequate nighttime residence. Many people associate being homeless with living on the street, but homelessness is often hidden, especially in rural communities.
To date for the 2025/2026 school year, Mifflin County School District has identified 98 students that are doubled up living with other families, living at the homeless shelter, or living in campers/RVs.
If you are experiencing homelessness, please know that help is available. Please reach out to either of our district’s homeless liaisons:
