School picture day is tomorrow! Here's a few tips on what to wear: A simple, solid color to make you stand out against the background -- no shirts with logos, pictures, or witty sayings... or anything super trendy! Those will distract people from your face.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and your Mineola Middle School Cheerleaders will be selling Pink Out shirts and bracelets all month long.
However, we are doing things a little differently this year. There are no order forms going out. Mrs. White will have shirts and bracelets on hand for purchase. You will be able to purchase these items at MS volleyball games, MS football games, and Fridays during MS lunch. If you are unable to make those times and/or places, you can also visit JEB Mineola downtown. She will have some available and the proceeds will still go to the MMS Cheerleaders. Shirts are $18 and bracelets are $1.

On Wednesday, October 26th, we will be giving the PSAT 8/9 test on the middle school campus. The cost is $14.00 and the test is available to 8th grade students. The PSAT 8/9 allows students to practice and prepare for the SAT. It gives them an opportunity to work on timed tests since they tend to struggle with the time constraints of the SAT and ACT. In addition, the PSAT corresponds directly to the SAT, and with the results, you will receive information on how to continue to prepare for the SAT based on your student’s scores.
If you would like for your son or daughter to take the PSAT 8/9, please have him or her come by the counselor’s office to sign up by Oct 21st . Please make checks payable to Mineola Middle School. Space is limited, so students should sign up soon. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 903-569-5338.
