Dragons and snakes and office supplies, oh my! The unique creative voices of 14 SLPMS writers were heard in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). The students collectively wrote almost 65,000 words in “a creative workshop, where you set your own word count goal and try to reach it in the month of November. "Then you have fun and write,” explains one student. At Mr. Letellier’s weekly writing group, students learned about character development, crafting plot lines, descriptive writing, reading their work out loud to others, and positively critiquing their fellow writers. “Can we keep going?” and “Are you doing this again next year?” was heard from several students at the NaNoWriMo’s completion party, which brought joy to our ears. If your student is interested in creative writing please contact parent Laura Butterbaugh at
laurabutterbaugh@gmail.com
about a potential ongoing writing club.

If you like gaming of all types (card, board, video), and you're looking for something to do Mondays after Winter Break, then Gaming Club is for YOU! We will meet each Monday January 6 to March 23 (excluding Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Presidents' Day) in the Middle School Cafeteria. We will meet right after school (2:15 p.m.), and students are welcome to take either the 3:00 p.m. or 4:30 p.m. buses home, walk, or get a ride. There is NO COST for this Club! Students are welcome to bring their own devices/games; neither the supervisors nor SLPMS are responsible for lost, broken, or stolen items.

Greetings All,
Below you will find a form for your students to fill out to help locate CLOTHING items in the lost and found. All your student has to do is pick up a form outside the lunch room under our very colorful sign, fill it out, and drop it in the box located in the same spot. There is an excessive amount of clothing items ranging from coats, sweatshirts, pants, shoes, and much more. If you would like to fill these out for your students at home and send it with them, please feel free to use the below attachment or write it on a blank piece of paper and have them drop it in the box. We would love to help students and families reconnect with lost clothing items and this process should make that easier for all. The lost and found can be overwhelming for a student to sort through, so let us do it for you!!
Sincerely,
Your Friends in Room 149

St. Louis Park Middle School New Online Registration and Online Payment Portal
St. Louis Park Middle School will be using an online registration and payment portal this year. This is an exciting change which allows families to register and pay for middle school athletics digitally in a safe and secure way for sports.
When prompted to log in, you will log in with the same username and password you use to pay your student's lunch account.
The first day of practice is Monday, January 13. The season lasts approximately eight weeks, usually until the first week of March. Practices are from 2:30-4:30 p.m., Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. There are no after school activities on Wednesdays.
The following must be received by the Athletic Director by January 13 for boys' basketball:
- Registration and payment (see above for instructions)
- Proof of sports physical exam (exam date can be found on PowerSchool) given within the previous three years (which clears the athlete for full participation) on file in the Health Office. If the physical expires during the season, a new physical must be provided before the athlete may begin participation. A well child check-up or immunization record do not count as a sports physical. Click here to download the 2019-20 Sports Qualifying Physical Examination Medical Eligibility Form.

Middle School Families, please remember to make the SLP Middle School your designated charity of choice and shop Amazon using the
Smile link.
Amazon donates a percentage of most sales to schools. Last year, our school earned nearly $200 that is spent against programs that support all students.
