It\u2019s also<br \/>\nthe meal teenagers are most likely to skip.<\/p>\n<p>Studies show teens who eat breakfast are more attentive in class, have more<br \/>\nenergy and are less likely to be overweight than their peers who don\u2019t eat<br \/>\nbreakfast.  Break the fast, break the rules. Who says a bowl of bran flakes<br \/>\nor a piece of toast is the only option? Fight bland breakfasts by thinking<br \/>\noutside the cereal box. You can grab some yogurt, fruit, protein bar, a<br \/>\npeanut butter sandwich or even left over pizza.<\/p>\n<p>*Calendar of Events 2014-2015*<\/p>\n<p>SEPTEMBER<\/p>\n<p>25                           Volleyball 7 Home\/8 Home \u2013 Both against New<br \/>\nHolstein<\/p>\n<p>                                *7th grade at ES Gym\/8th grade at MS Gym*<\/p>\n<p>25-26                     Middle School Music Fundraiser Kick off<\/p>\n<p>29                           Volleyball 7 at Manitowoc Wilson\/8 at<br \/>\nManitowoc Wilson<\/p>\n<p>*OCTOBER*<\/p>\n<p>2                              Volleyball 7 Home\/8 Home \u2013 Both against<br \/>\nPlymouth<\/p>\n<p>3                              Falcon Way Family Movie Night 3:30-5<\/p>\n<p>                                *7th grade at ES Gym\/8th grade at MS Gym*<\/p>\n<p>Cross Country at Slinger<\/p>\n<p> 6                             Volleyball 7 Home\/8 Home \u2013 Both against<br \/>\nManitowoc Washington<\/p>\n<p>Student Council Meeting in art room 3:15-4:00<\/p>\n<p>Oct. 6 &#8211; 10  Spirit Week<\/p>\n<p>*7th                           grade at ES Gym\/8th grade at MS Gym*<\/p>\n<p>Mid-quarter grades due at 3:45 p.m.<\/p>\n<p>  9                            Volleyball Bye<\/p>\n<p>                                Cross Country at Campbellsport \u2013 4:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p> 13                          Volleyball 7 at Two Rivers\/8 Home<\/p>\n<p>                                6th Grade Chorus Concert \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013 MS<br \/>\nAud.<\/p>\n<p>6th                           Grade Band Concert \u2013 7:30 p.m. \u2013 MS Aud.<\/p>\n<p> 16                          Parent\/Teacher Conferences 4:00 \u2013 8:00<\/p>\n<p>                                Book Fair<\/p>\n<p> 17                          7th Grade School Concert for grades 5-7 \u2013 MS<br \/>\nAud.<\/p>\n<p>                                Book Fair<\/p>\n<p>20                           Volleyball 7 Home\/8 Home \u2013 Both against Kiel<\/p>\n<p>                                *7th grade at ES Gym\/8th grade at MS Gym*<\/p>\n<p>Student Council Meeting in art room 3:15-4:00<\/p>\n<p>                                7th Grade Band\/Chorus Concert \u2013 7:00 p.m. \u2013<br \/>\nMS Aud.<\/p>\n<p>                                Book Fair<\/p>\n<p>21                           Parent\/Teacher Conferences 4:00 \u2013 7:30<\/p>\n<p>                                Book Fair<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>*Sheboygan Falls Middle School Announcements* *September 24th * *\u201cA\u201d Day* *Found: a pair of black glasses hanging on the fence (prescription).
