Tomorrow is Halloween! That means all things spooky will be out tomorrow night (that isn’t including the trick or treaters). A Halloween joke for you:
What do adventurous pumpkins do for fun? They go bungee gourd jumping.
On Wednesday, October 16, the MSS cross country team took part in the NSSSA Cross-Country Running Championships at the Espanola Golf Course.

Share/Go-Green held a battery drive from October 22 to 25 at MSS. The battery drive was a part of the “Zinc saves Lives” fundraiser.

The MSS cross country team was back in action on Wednesday, October 23 in Sault Ste. Marie for the NOSSA Championships. The senior girls team won silver. There were a total of seven runners that have qualified to compete at OFSSA this week! A sports joke for you:
What do you call an athletic pumpkin? A jock o’ lantern
On Thursday, October 24, MSS hosted a senior and junior boys’ volleyball tournament at MSS. Schools in attendance included MSS, Espanola and Jeunesse Nord. Both the MSS senior boys and junior boys did MSS proud during this tournament with all the amazing spikes, serves, bumps and volleys! Lots of students went to watch and support the teams at lunch. A notable moment of the tournament was the senior boys winning a set 25-2 over Jeunesse Nord.
Tomorrow night, on Halloween, students from MSS will be participating in the annual WE Scare Hunger event. Students will be going around collecting non-perishable food items in communities across the Island, instead of trick or treating. The non-perishable items will be donated to the living well locker at MSS and the Manitoulin Food Bank.
The MSS annual Fall Potluck will be held tomorrow, November 1.
Joke of the week: Two monsters went to a Halloween party. Suddenly one said to the other, “A lady just rolled her eyes at me. What should I do?”
“Be a gentleman and roll them back to her.”
Upcoming events include the annual fall potluck, sports games, university/college representatives at MSS and much more!
Just a reminder to set your clocks back 1 hour before you go to sleep on Saturday night as Daylight savings time is coming to an end. The upside is that you get an extra hour of sleep!
Until next time, “Dream and Believe. Learn and Achieve!
