PRINCIPAL PIC OF THE WEEK
|
|
Congrats to all the participants in our schoolwide Spelling Bee. These students represent the top spellers from close to 1000 kids! Lasting 23 rounds, it ended with 7th grader, Savannah Grace Banks, spelling "falcon" and "statute" correctly to claim the title of Champion! She and runner-up, Henley Farmer, will join the rest of the Top 10 who will go on to compete at district level. We wish them lots of luck as they prepare to represent MCMS! We are so proud!

7th grader, Emma Roberts, was the lucky student from MCMS to be blessed by the generosity of former MP football star, Malik Herring, and his 2nd Annual Christmas Giveaway. Thank you, Malik, and thank you, Sabrina Mays for representing Malik who is currently mid season playing football for the Kansas City Chiefs!

Thank you, thank you to all the 7th grade parents who generously donated time, money, or food (or all 3!) to make the staff breakfast absolutely fantastic! And, many thanks to the volunteer team who planned, organized, and made it happen! The teachers, staff, and admin enjoyed it and felt valued and supported. Looking forward to the next one - 8th grade parents, note the info further down in the Look What's Coming Up section!

Merry Christmas from everyone's favorite Front Office Staff!

MCMS Student Book Review
Liliana Moore recommends
A Series of Unfortunate Events
by Lemony Snicket
Seventh grader, Lily Moore, recommends this book saying, "If you love mystery books you will love this book." About three siblings named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire whose parents had died in a terrible fire, the story follows a man named Count Olaf who chases them all around the world to get the fortune left by their parents. "They go through troubles together and they try to survive this honorable thing that has happen to them." Additionally, she advises that the books be read in order to avoid getting lost.
Lily gives this book a 5 out of 5!
