The submission below is from one of our wonderful parents and weekly contributors to this newsletter, Stacey Laird. She
wrote asking if she could have a corner of the MVP. I thought it was front page worthy.
“I'd like to shout out a THANK YOU to all the parents that volunteer for our school’s many sports,
musical, and social events. Without volunteers, these events would not produce the extra revenue that
they do. These volunteers are the Support Team to Mott High School. If you see a volunteer at an event,
please thank them for taking time out of their day or evening to support our school and our kids.”

Homecoming
2013
If anyone has a group picture of the homecoming court, please email it to me and I will include it next week. I will
also take additional homecoming photos but please save me the time and narrow it down to your favorite individual
and/or group pose.  In fact, that would be great to keep in mind for all activity photos – unless of course they have
mostly different people in the pics, thanks! Btw, no need to submit names, etc. ONLY on homecoming photos, it takes tons
of time to format when there’s so many photos since I produce this in Word and not a publishing program.
