And now it’s time for Manic Mystery Monday so pop your thinking caps on and teachers dial 1420 when you have heard the entire question and your class has an answer:
Question: How heavy was the world’s largest chocolate bunny, in pounds?
Answer: 8,488lbs (accept 8,000 or 8.500lbs).
Note: A team of nine constructors worked together in Brazil at Chocofest to combine the 6,000 bars of chocolate needed for the rabbit. Then one main sculptor took an axe and chisel to the chocolate mass in order to arrive at the final design.
Have a marvelous Monday everybody!

Happy Birthday today to our 7th grade math wizard, Mr. Wooley. Have a wonderful birthday Mr Wooley! If you see him in the hallway, be sure to say “Hi” today.

Track and Field practices are again this afternoon and every day this week except FRIDAY, after school until 4:30pm. Meet in the MS lobby. You need a ride home immediately at the end of practice.
It’s time for Ms. Holley’s Healthy Habits so let's talk about habits! If you want to change something in your life forever, start small, with something easy, and be flexible. For example, if you want to drink less pop, don’t start by saying, “I’ll never drink pop again!”. Instead say, “I’m going to replace the pop I drink with dinner, with water or milk.”. Small steps are not hard! Once you’ve got that down, add another small change!! Give it a go and see what you can accomplish!
Have a terrific Tuesday everybody and remember it may not be easy but it will definitely be worth it!

It’s Hump Day and we now have the inspirational quote of the week to get you over the hump and this one is ancient Chinese wisdom so you know it’s good:
Quote: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
So maybe you should have started doing something yesterday but if you put it off until tomorrow you will only regret that you didn’t start it today so do it NOW!
Have a wonderful Wednesday everybody! We’re halfway there so let’s make the rest of this week really count!
