School Picture Retakes - Wednesday, Oct. 30
|
School Picture Retakes are for students who were absent on Picture Day, or for families who desire a retake after receiving their Picture Day packages.
Let your child's teacher know that he or she will be participating in retakes. Then, have your child bring back their photo package to the photographer—no additional paperwork needed. If your child was absent on Picture Day, have your child bring in an order form with check/cash (forms available at front desk and middle school office), or order online at www.mylifetouch.com with this code:
RO139033Y1
Here are the Picture Day Dress guidelines:
- Students are encouraged to wear a nice outfit for school pictures
- All students are to have a neat, clean and modest appearance at all times, including free dress days
- Girls' shorts or skirts must be no shorter than 3 inches above the knee
- If leggings are worn, tops must extend past the fingertips
- Tank tops must have width of three fingers
- Jeans are acceptable on free dress days
- Students are not to wear: torn clothes, pajamas, sweats or yoga pants, excessively tight-fitting clothes, spaghetti straps, tops that expose the midriff, clothing with cut-outs, or costume-type clothing
- If there is any question that an item is inappropriate for dress, it should not be worn. Students will be required to change if clothing is not appropriate.

Fact: More than 300 million people, nearly half of the people living in Africa, do not have access to clean, safe water. While locating clean water is not something that consumes our thoughts in Southern California, for many people living in Africa, their daily schedule revolves around locating and transporting clean, safe drinking water for their families.
Walk4Water is an organization that has been successfully counteracting the major issues of dehydration, disease, and even death due to unsafe drinking water. MCS is proud to join Walk4Water each year by sending a team of students and families to join in the walk through Miles Square Park and raising money to build wells, creating access to clean drinking water in Africa.
All MCS families are invited to register and attend the Walk4Water event on
Saturday, 10/12, beginning at 8:00 am
. For more details, please click this link:

We hope to see you there!

While MCS parents should use carpool to pick up their students in the afternoon, we understand there are times when parents might need to pick students up from the walk-in gate. If you need to pick up your student at the walk-in gate, please remember to park your vehicle and meet your student at the gate, as students may not leave the gate without a parent or guardian. Thank you for your partnership!

Our chapel focus the next two weeks will center around the ACTS Prayer.
ACTS stands for ways to shape our prayer life using the guide words Adoration (I Love You), Confession (I’m Sorry), Thanksgiving (Thank You), and Supplication (Please).
The students are learning about the postures of our heart and body as we enter into prayer conversation with God, the value of silence and listening, and how songs and verses can be used as prayers as well. We ended our chapel with celebratory “chopsticks” worship!

A Day in the Lyfe…Middle School Worship Team Stories Told by MCS Middle School Students

This week’s 8th Grade Commissioning Chapel was a powerful one! Coming out of Leadership classes led by Mrs. Harrison the past 2 weeks, the 8th graders accepted their role as leaders on our campus. Two 8th grade students from our Student Ministries Committee spoke to their classmates on how to “set an example for others”, as laid out in 1 Timothy 4:12-16, and how to “love, lead, and serve like Jesus”, as spoken about in Mark 10:43-45.
As a class, they stood before the 6th graders, the 7th graders, and their parents and one by one proclaimed how they were going to follow Jesus’ example of servant leadership this year. Following these statements, the 8th graders were surrounded by their parents, their teachers, and the 6th and 7th grade students, and were corporately prayed over as they step into this leadership calling.
Following our time of prayer, an all 8th grade worship team closed our time together, as we praised the One who set the ultimate example of what it means to be a servant leader!
