Thank you to the Leth and Gassert families for donating books from the book fair to our classroom library! Students are P-U-M-P-E-D to read them!
Magical finds during recess!
James and the Giant Peach was phenomenal! Great job, MMS! Students enjoyed comparing the book to the play. There were SO many differences!

Reminders:
- Please return your signed report card envelope if you haven’t already done so.
- HELP NEEDED!!! It is that time of year again! Our students will begin computer based testing in April. We need volunteers to serve as proctors during our testing sessions. Please consider signing up for a session (or more!). Proctor training only takes 10 minutes. You are not responsible for any of the test materials. You are simply another set of eyes in the room! If you have any questions, please contact our School Counselor, Tricia McElhone or our Instructional Literacy Coach, Heather Eyestone. We cannot thank you enough for all you do for our students. Our goal is to provide your children with a testing environment that will allow them to show what they know! Thanks to the support of our families, we know our students continue to shine!
