Minden girls wrestling team is competing today in the State Duals in Pierce put on by the Nebraska Wrestling Coaches Assoc. Go Whippets!
As I'm sure everyone has heard by now there was an issue with state wrestling tickets. The girls sessions 2 and 4 have been sent out by email from CHI and will be transferred by ticket master, we received all of the tickets ordered for those. For sessions 5 and 6 we ordered 59 and received 22. We are waiting until districts to see what girls qualify for state before dividing tickets as we want state qualifiers families to be able to attend first. For those who did not or will not receive sessions 5 and 6, CHI has stated that a refund will be issued in 2 to 3 weeks. Please be patient as we try to work through this difficult situation.
Mario Kart returns to the state tournament. Next Saturday in York at 3pm! Congratulations and Good Luck!
Visibility will be around 1/4 mile in some areas this morning. Intersections could be slick. Give yourself extra time and space, and slow down this morning.
Tomorrow is the FINAL day to buy your Valentine's Day candy grams! Stop by the high school commons area before school or during lunch to order yours. All proceeds go to March of Dimes!

Last week, one of Mrs. Johnson's Textiles classes went to Bethany Home to help with an FCCLA project being completed by Allison Burchell and Cheyenne Vahl. While there, some of the students made a connection with Wilma Jones, and were amazed to find out that she would be turning 103 in a week! Yesterday, they returned with flowers to wish her a Happy Birthday! Pictured with Wilma are Naviannah Lennemann, Kierslin Franks, Sayge Grotrian and Lauren Starkey. Makenna Anderson was ill and unable to visit.

MPS will have a late start today. Roads are worse than yesterday. There is no morning preschool, and buses will run accordingly. Have a great day, and give yourself extra time and space.

SEASON UPDATE: Just wanted to give an update on our season, as we come close to the end of the winter season. Mario Kart plays for a birth in the state tournament on Thursday against Platteview at 4. Overwatch takes on No. 1 Omaha Skutt in round 3 of the playoffs. We appreciate all the support this season, we are trying a lot of new things and so far it looks good.
