Mindset of the Week- Everything is Possible

7 Mindsets Image
We are finishing up the Everything is Possible mindset.  Everythings Possible Mindset teaches that we are all capable of living extraordinary lives. Students will learn that everything which exists today was once just an idea until someone believed it was possible and took the actions to make it into reality. This is true with our lives as well – they become, in many ways, whatever we expect them to be.

Throughout the lessons for this mindset, we work with students to help them understand the incredible promise of their lives, and to envision extraordinary happiness, meaning and success on their own terms. We seek to instill the belief that their goals are possible, and to foster the courage, discipline and persistence to act on achieving their dreams.

Live to Give October- Breast Cancer Awareness

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
One of our 7 mindsets is Live to Give.  The main focus of this mindset is about serving others.  As a school, we feel it is important to model this idea and life quality for our students.  Each month MCMS will focus on one or more causes to bring awareness too.  This month our Live to Give cause will be Breast Cancer Awareness.  On Friday, October 20th we will be joining Mid-Carolina High in a Pink-Out to support Breast Cancer Awareness.  

First Quarter Academic Awards

Congratulations to our students who earned first quarter academic awards, keep up the good works.  We look forward to celebrating the those academic accomplishments on Tuesday, October 17th.  All awards ceremonies will take place in the Big Gym.  

  • 8th Grade Awards will begin at 8:00 AM in the Big Gym
  • 6th and 7th Grade Awards will begin at 8:45 AM in the Big Gym
For those that are unable to attend the ceremony, we will live stream the events on our school Facebook page.

Red Ribbon Week Dress Days

Red Ribbon Week is held annually at the end of October to help promote kids to choose a Drug Free Life.  The National Family Partnership (NFP) promotes this annual drug prevention campaign.  The NFP is a national leader in drug prevention education & advocacy. Their mission is to lead and support our nation’s families and communities in nurturing the full potential of healthy, drug free youth.  We look forward to celebrating this important event on the week of October 23 - 27, 2023 with several fun dress days.
