Superintendent's Message
A Message from Superintendent Layton
Another great week for Malakoff ISD!

On Monday night, our girls’ basketball team won their playoff game against Whitney, and then on Friday night, they won an exciting game against Lexington. The next game will be against Little River – Academy on Tuesday, February 25 th at Centerville High School at 8:00 pm. If you haven’t seen our girls play, come see them in their next playoff game. They are fun to watch!

Our boys’ team finished an undefeated district season and is heading to the playoffs this week. Come out and watch them start their playoff run on Tuesday, February 25 th at Ferris High School as they take on Whitney. The game starts at 6:00 pm.

We are still in full swing with high school basketball, but we don’t stop there. Middle School and High School track are attending meets, MHS JV/V Softball is on the road, MHS JV/V Baseball is in full swing, and our MHS Golf program is traveling as well.

The Henderson County Black Scholarship Committee had its banquet on Saturday night. The Committee honored 15 MHS Seniors with scholarships. It was a wonderful time seeing our students be honored.

We also need to remember this is officially our STAAR TEST season. On testing days, most of our campuses are closed to visitors. 

This is always such a busy time of the year, and I want to thank all of our staff for continuing to stay the course and doing all they can for the kids in our district. This time of the year can get stressful because you all work so hard for our kids, and the results make all of our hard work worth it. Malakoff ISD is such a great place because of all of you.

MMS Happenings
Malakoff Middle School Student Council
By Preslee Payne

Valentine's Dance
Where to start, where to start. Well, if you didn’t know already Malakoff Middle School had their very own Valentine's Dance! Student Council planned and organized it with the help of a couple of student council parents and a few of the teachers. With the help of Mrs. Bruton’s 5th period Creative Writing Class we managed to get the decorating rolling. The dance turned out great! We had our very own DJ, pizza, drinks, and all of the money that was made went towards the students and teacher incentives. Afterward, Student Council and a few other students helped clean up. We had a very fun and exciting night!

Fundraiser for Lucas Green
If you haven't already heard, one of our students, Lucas Green, has cancer. Thank goodness it is a curable cancer. He is getting better every day. Meanwhile, at our school, everyone is working hard to raise money for him and his family. There have been people wearing orange outfits and shirts to raise awareness and show their support for him. Student Council had a bake sale Saturday to raise money for Lucas. We raised a lot of money and received a lot of donations from the great people of Malakoff. Everyone in the Student Council that participated made treats to sell. We sold almost everything! Ms. Bruton took the remaining goods and sold them in her neighborhood. We also sold bracelets to anyone and everyone that we could. All of the money that was raised was given to his family to pay for the cost of the hospital bills. We pray Lucas continues to heal. 

Canned Food Drive
Student Council has another upcoming event! Woo Hoo! The event coming up is another Food Drive. We are going to be donating to the Malakoff Food Pantry. We will be collecting canned food from April 1st through April 9th. We would appreciate donations so we can give back to the people of Malakoff who need it. We hope you have enjoyed this reminder of what all we've done so far, and we hope you come back and support us for what’s coming up in the future. Thank you so much!
