Box Tops
You have less than a month left to turn in box tops for a chance to win $20 CASH, a $10 McDonalds gift card or an ice cream treat from the MJH cafeteria.  And considering we've only had 2 (yes, 2!) students so far turn in box tops, your chance of winning a prize at this point is guaranteed!  So c'mon and start clipping!   Put the box tops in a clear plastic baggie with the student's name on the front and turn it in to the front office by February 6th.  For a complete list of rules regarding prize eligibility, see the flyer bins located in and near the front office.

The Montgomery Bears Boys 7th grade basketballs team traveled to the Magnolia yesterday to face off against the other Bears of Bear Branch Junior High.  The “B” teams split and played well easily beating Bear Branch with scores 28 to 16 and 25 to 15.  Montgomery was relentless on defense and scored at will on offense.  Both teams remain undefeated in district play.  The “A” team came out hot with an early lead.  The game went back and forth and it was all tied up 20 to 20 by the end of the 3rd quarter.  The Bears played tough, but were out-scored by 2 points in the fourth quarter and ultimately lost 31 to 29.  This is the first district loss for the Bears this season.  The Bears look forward to getting back on track next week when they host Waller Schultz.  Good luck and keep working hard Bears!
