Year-end Mass
Last week we celebrated the final Mass of this school year. Seniors and juniors gathered in the gym while freshman and sophomores joined us virtually. During his homily, Fr. Vince reminded us of our charge to be disciples of Christ through our words and actions. The Mass ended with a special blessing for our seniors as they prepare to begin a new chapter in their lives. The community also prayed for the junior class as the future leaders of MCC.

In the science lab
Mrs. Zinone's Honors Chemistry students recently did a lab investigating the specific heat of different metals to determine which one would be best to use for cookware. The story behind the lab was that the students worked for Today's Housewares, a company planning on introducing a new line of cookware.

Te gusta o no te gusta?
Spanish 1 classes enjoyed salsa testing while applying the use of me gusta. Students sampled individual portions of fresh refrigerated, jarred salsa and green salsa. The fresh salsa was the undeniable favorite while many students did not fancy the green salsa. They practiced using me gusta, me gustan, no me gusta, me gusta más in addition to le gusta and nos gusta. Que delicioso!
