What's going on at MP this season

As I talk and receive emails from so many classmates I realize that many of us are so blessed with beautiful families, wonderful jobs and good health. I copied the next two paragraphs (below) from the MP website and hope that if any of you feel the want or need to help you will in honor or memory of someone that has helped you get where you are today. Happy Holidays!



STUDENT VS. FACULTY BASKETBALL On January 10th, 2008 at 7:00 p.m., the 3rd Annual Student vs. Faculty Basketball Game for Make-A-Wish will be taking place. As many of you may remember, for the past two years, MP DECA has put together the basketball game, which raises money for Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central & Western North Carolina. The game itself was inspired by former Myers Park student Zach Ramsey who was a “Wish” child himself. DECA continues to carry out this event in order to sponsor a child through Make-A-Wish in the same fashion that Zach was sponsored. Our goal is $6,000. If you would like to sponsor the game please contact Matthew Speas at matthew.speas@cms.k12.nc.us. Also, if you would like to make tax-deductible donation, please mail your check, made out to MP for Make-A-Wish, to Myers Park High School, Attn Matthew Speas, 2400 Colony Rd, Charlotte, NC 28209. Students wishing to play in the game should attend tryouts in the gym on January 3rd at 7:00pm. Please come out and support this great cause. See you there!

HOLIDAY OUTREACH Thanks to our wonderful MP community, the Outreach Committee is helping over 80 MPHS families have a brighter holiday. If you could not adopt a family, but still want to help, consider purchasing a gift card (Target, Walmart, Food Lion, Bi-Lo, Harris Teeter) and dropping it at the school office before Dec. 17 in an envelope marked PTSA OUTREACH COMMITTEE. Thank you. Checks to the MPHS PTSA (put Outreach in memo line) are also welcome.
