Picture Day

Grits for Grands at Lunch

We are excited to bring back "Grits for Grands" to celebrate our amazing grandparents at MCMS.  For this year's event, we will be having Breakfast for Lunch!  The event will be Thursday, September 21st at each grade level lunch.  The cost will be $5 cash for each attendee (MCMS students are free).  Grandparents will need to complete the Grits Grands at Lunch Sign-Up Form.  If you have students in multiple grade levels, please fill a form out for each student.  

A separate email will be sent to all families on Monday (September 11th) with an additional paper sign up form.  Sign ups will be due by Thursday, September 14th.  

Field Studies and Experiences

We are excited to bring back Field Studies and Experiences for all of our grade levels this year.  Over the last few years we have been limited in the opportunities we could provide for our students.  We will be offering off-campus Field Studies and Experiences for each grade.  As we finalize details, we will be sending more information home.

Our 8th grade class will not be going to Washington, DC this year.  The rising cost for this trip, along with a number of other factors, prevented us from planning this trip.  There will be an off-campus field study for 8th grade, we will send information out once all details are planned.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dr. Dobyns at pdobyns@sdnc.org.

MCMS Athletics

Our MCMS Volleyball and Football teams will be in competition this week.  Volleyball will have away games on Tuesday and Thursday, both starting at 5:30 PM.  Our Football team has their first home game on Wednesday at 6:00 PM.  Good luck to both teams!  

If you have any questions about MCMS athletics or your child's athletic participation, please reach out to our Athletic Director, Coach David Meetze (dmeetze@sdnc.org).
