• The assembly includes:
– 7th graders in Early American dress
– 7th graders performing "Amazing Grace"
– Tradition: MAG singing "Over the River and Through the Woods"
– Sixth grade leading motions to an all school sing-a-long
– All school song

Please bring canned food to Foote. It will be donated to the needy, including a local children's shelter.
